Settings : Presser foot - Blind stitch foot

:Thread Tension Control: AUTO

-Regular blind stitch for normal firm fabrics

-Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics

1.With matching thread finish the raw edge. On fine fabric turn up and press a small ½” or less hem. On medium to heavyweight fabrics overcast the fabric’s raw edge.

2.Now fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong side up.

3.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 guide (B) on the Blindhem Foot (A) so that the needle just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests against the fold.

NOTE: In addition to the adjustment on the foot, the stitch width control can be used. The stitch width control changes the swing of the needle for a more narrow or wider stitch.

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 hems. Always make a sewing test first.
