There are two blind hem stitches on your machine. The regular blind hem is used tor woven fabrics. The stretch blind hem is
wider and will "give” and is used for knit and stretch fabrics.

2. Measure, turn up your hem and pin.
NOTE; For light weight labrics, you may need a double fold.
3. Fold the material (wrong side out} on the edge to be stitched, as shown, leaving 1/4" ot the finished hem edge showing.
