BLIND STITCH
SETTINGS :Presser foot - Blind Hem Foot :Thread tension control - S
- Regular blind stitch for normal fabrics
- Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics
1.First finish the raw edge. Do this by turning it under on fine fabrics or overcasting it on medium to heavyweight fabrics. Then turn the hem up the required depth, press and pin in place.
2.Now fold the fabric as illustrated.
3.Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel counter clockwise (toward you) by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the guide (B) on the Blind hem Foot (A) so that the needle just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests against the fold.
NOTE: For a narrower or wider blind hem, first manually adjust the length and width controls to your desired length and width. Then adjust the guide on the foot.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge of the guide.
4.When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the right side of the fabric.
NOTE: It takes practice to sew blind hem. Always make a sewing test first.
