2.The guide (e) on the blind foot ensures even feeding of the fabric when blind hem stitching. The guide (e) is adjusted by turning the adjusting screw (f).

3.Place fabric so that the straight stitches (or small zigzag stitches) are on the protruding hem edge and the large zigzag stitches just catch one thread of the folded edge (g). Turn the screw so that the needle barely touches the folded edge of fabric.

4.Lower the presser foot and sew hem, guiding fabric evenly along the guide.

5.Turn the fabric over when you have completed sewing.
