hem
stitch
* No 15
The
blind
hem
stitch
is used
to
make
invisible
hems
on skirts,
trousers
and
home
decorating.
• Finish
the
edge
of the
hem.
Fold
and
press
the
hem
allowance to
the wrong
side.
• Fold
the
hem
back
on itself so
approximately
3/8’
(1 cm)
of the
finished
edge
extends
beyond
the fold. The wrong
side
of
your
project
should
now
be facing up.
• Place
the
fabric
under
the
presser foot so that
the
fold
runs
along
edge
guide
A.
• When
the
needle
swings
into
the fold it should
catch
a small
amount
of
fabric.
If the stitches are visible
on the
right
side,
adjust
edge
guide
A by turning
adjusting
screw
B,
until
the
stitch
that
catches
the
hem just
slightly
barely
showns.
The
elastic
blind
hem
stitch is
especially
suitable for
stretchy
fabrics,
because
the zig
zag in
the stitch
lets
the
stitch
stretch.
The
hem is
finished
and sewn
at the
same time.
There
is no
need
to
finish
the raw
edge first
on most
knits.
Create
the
blind hem
as described
above.
