Blind hem for woven fabrics. Position “C” on selection dial.
Blind hem for stretch fabrics. Position “D” on selection dial.
Set the machine as illustrated.
Note: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always make a
test on scraps.
Fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong side up. (1)
Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel towards 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 stitch width
accordingly. (2) Adjust the guide (3) by turning the knob (4) so that
the guide just rests against the fold. Sew slowly, by pressing the
foot control lightly. Guide the fabric along the edge of the guide.
