There are two blind hem stitches on your machine. The regular blind hem is used for woven fabrics. The stretch blind hem is wider and will "give" and is used for knit and stretch fabrics.

1.Finish the raw edge of your hem any way you desired. (See Overcasting, p. 24)

2.Measure, turn up your hem and pin.

NOTE: For light weight fabrics, you may need a double fold.

3.Fold the material (wrong side out) on the edge to be stitched, as shown, leaving 1/4" of the finished hem edge showing.
