Blindstitching
Blindstitching provides a durable way to finish
a hem. It takes practice, however, so a test sam­
ple is suggested.
* Prepare the hem by folding and pressing as
usual. If the hem is basted to hold it in place,
as shown, be sure to place the basting at least
1/2 inch (1.2cm.) below the top edge of the hem
allowance.
^ With the wrong side of fabric up, turn the
hem under, creating a soft fold from the top
edge of hem. Pin or baste all three layers
together.
Attach blindstitch hem guide to machine as
in Chapter 2.
^ Position the hem under the presser foot with
the soft fold resting against the wall of the
guide. Be sure the flange (1) of the guide is
between the soft fold (2) and the top of the
hem, as shown.
^ Lower the presser foot and begin sewing,
adjusting the stitch width to make sure the
straight stitches fall on the edge of the hem
and the zig-zag stitches just pierce the soft fold.
Guide the hem edge in a straight line and feed
the soft fold evenly against the wall of the
guide.
^ If pins were used, remove them immediately
before stitching. DO NOT sew over pins!
