The blind hem creates an invisible hem on garments. There
are two types of blind hem; one is recommended for
medium to heavy woven fabrics, the other for stretch.
The blind hem is not suggested for light weight fabric, but
your Exclusive SEWING ADVISOR™ feature will select
the best stitch possible.
