2 Right side of fabric

Blind hem stitches can not be sewn if the left nee- dle drop point does not catch the fold. If the needle catches too much of the fold, the fabric can not be unfolded and the seam appearing on the right side of the fabric will be very large, leaving an unattrac- tive finish. If you experience either of these cases, take the following steps to solve the problem.
