8Folded edge

There is a sliding guide screw on the blind hem foot that allows you to precisely control where the needle pierces the edge of the fabric fold. Adjust the screw so that at the leftmost position of the stitch, the needle just pierces the edge of the fold. If the needle pierces too far left, the stitches will show on the right side of the fabric. Lower the presser foot. Sew, guiding the folded edge along the guide on the foot 7 . As you sew, the right side of the stitch forms a chain stitch to the right of the fabric fold.
