Blind hem sewing
Blind hem sewing
Presser foot: blind hem foot
Stitch selection: “9”
Stitch length: 1-3
1. Fold the material according to the desired
material width (figure 1).
2. On the right side, when you fold back the
hem, there has to remain a selvage with the
width of 4 mm (figure 2).
3. Lay the hem under the blind stitch foot so
that the guidance of the foot goes along the
folded hem (figure 3).
The guidance of the blind stitch foot can be
changed in that way, that the needle only hits
the selvage of the hem using the biggest zig-
zag over-lock so that you can only see a point
of the thread at the other side (figure 4). You
should complete the hem only slowly to have a
better control.

By removing the cloth plate you
get a free arm cloth plate.
The free arm makes it possible to
sew tubular components more easily.
Put the sleeves and the trouser
legs onto the free arm.
