--Regular blind stitch for normal firm fabrics

1. First finish the raw edge. Do this by turning it under on fine
fabrics or overcasting it on medium to heavyweight fabrics.
Then turn the hem up the required depth, press and pin in
place.
2. Now fold the fabric as illustrated with the wrong side up.
3. Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel towards
you by hand until the needle swings fully to the left. It should
just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does not, adjust the guide
(B) on the Blindhem Foot (A) so that the needle just pierces
the fabric fold and the guide just rests against the fold.
NOTE: For a narrower or wider blindhem, first
manually adjust the length and width controls to your
desired length and width. Then adjust the guide on the
foot.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge
of the guide.
4. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the
right side of the fabric.
NOTE: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always
make a sewing test first.
