Blind stitching provides a durable hem finish that
is almost invisible and comparable to hand sewing.
Mark, turn and press hem in the usual way. Baste
a guide line V4" from the top of the hem edge.
Place the hem edge over the feed of the machine,
turn back the bulk of the fabric to the line of bast
ing, thereby creating a soft fold.
Position the work so that straight stitches are
made on the hem edge and sideways stitches pierce
the fold.
Adjust the seam guide over the right toe of the
presser foot until it rests next to the soft fold. While
stitching, feed the fold against the flat of the guide.
When stitching is completed, swing the seam
guide out of position before raising presser foot.
A test sample should be made to determine stitch
width and stitch length for weight and texture of
fabric used.
