Blind Hem Stitching

You can use the Blind Hem Stitch to finish the edge

of a project, like the hem of a pair of trousers,

without the stitch showing. Use the Blind Hem Stitch

when sewing on non-stretch fabrics, and the Stretch

Blind Hem Stitch for stretch fabrics.

Both threads should be the same color as the

fabric.

Fold back the hem, as shown in fig. A. Then

fold the edge of the fabric as in fig. B. Leave a

6 mm (15/64") overlap at the edge.

Set the pattern selection dial to the Blind Hem

Stitch or Stretch Blind Hem Stitch, and then

set the stitch length.

Sew on the fold as in fig. C.

When the fabric is unfolded you will have a

blind hem stitch as shown in fig. D.

1 Right side of fabric

2 Wrong side of fabric

Note

● The Stretch Blind Hem Stitch is useful for

stretch fabrics.

Shell Tuck Stitching

The Shell Tuck Stitch can be used to sew a picot

(lace-like) edge on lightweight fabric.

Set the pattern selection dial to the Shell Tuck Stitch.

Adjust the thread tension so that it is tighter

than normal.

Place the fabric under the presser foot so that

it will be sewn along the bias with the straight

stitches sewn on the seamline and the zigzag

stitches sewn slightly over the folded edge.

Sew at a slow speed.
