Blind hem stitch
The blind hem stitch is used to make invisible hems on
skirts, trousers and home decorating.
• Finish the edge of the hem.
• Fold and press the hem allowance inwards.
• Fold the hem back on itself
so approximately 1/4 inch
(6 mm) of the
À
nished edge
extends beyond the fold. The
wrong side of your project
should now be facing up.
• Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the fold
runs along edge guide B.
• When the needle swings into the fold it should catch
a small amount of fabric. If the stitches are visible on
the right side, adjust edge guide B by turning adjusting
screw A.
Elastic blind hem stitch
The elastic blind hem stitch is especially suitable for stretchy
fabrics. The hem is
À
nished and sewn at the same time.
There is no need to
À
nish the raw edge
À
rst.
Create the blind hem as described under ”Blind hem stitch”.
