Blind Hem
The blind hem creates an invisible hem on garments. There are
two types of blind hem; one is recommended for medium to
heavy stretch fabric, the other for medium to heavy woven fabric.
Fold the fabric as illustrated. Make sure the folded edge of the
fabric follows the inside of the right “toe” of Blind Hem Foot D.
The left swing of the needle should just catch the edge of the
folded fabric.
If necessary, adjust the stitch width as needed to barely “catch”
the fold.
Note: The blind hem technique is not recommended for light weight fabric
or leather/vinyl. If you select the blind hem and light woven, light stretch or
leather and vinyl you will hear a beep and the technique will be unselected.
