Blind Hem
The blind hem creates an invisible hem on gar-
ments. There are two types of blind hem, one is
recommended for medium to heavy woven fa-
brics, the other for stretch. The blind hem is not
suggested for light weight fabric, but your Se-
wing Advisor will select the best stitch possible.
Fabric: Stretch medium
Touch: Stretch medium on fabric screen and
Blind Hem on technique screen in the Sewing
Advisor.
Snap on: Presser foot D as recommended.
Use: Size 90 stretch needle as recommended.
Fold a 2" (50mm) hem along one fabric edge
pla ce pins in place perpendicular to the hem
with the hem to fi rst entry of the pin about 1/4’’
(6mm) from the hem edge.
Hold the fabric wrong side up with the hem to
the right.
Fold the hem under to the right side, leaving
about 1/4" (6mm) of the hem extending to the
right. You will sew on this extension.
Sew:
• Place the fabric under presser foot D with the
folded edge against the right toe of the foot.
• Touch Pivot
and adjust fabric if necessary.
Be sure to remove the pins before you sew
over them. Do not try to sew over pins. Step
on the foot control. The Sen sor foot lowers
automatically.
• As the large zigzag swings to the left, it should
barely catch the fold. Generally the Sewing
Advisor will choose the correct width. Adjust
the stitch width if necessary.
If too much fabric is caught,
narrow the
width. If the zigzag is not catching the fold,
widen the width.
