Blind Hem Stitching Slide the item that you wish to sew onto the free arm, i make sure that the fabric feeds correctly, and then start sewing. 1 Free arm Position the fabric with the edge of the folded hem j against the guide of the presser foot, and then lower the presser foot lever. Memo • Blind hem stitches cannot be sewn if the left needle drop point does not catch the fold. If the needle catches too much of the fold, the fabric cannot be unfolded and the seam appearing on the right side of the fabric will be very large, leaving an unattractive finish. If you experience either of these cases, perform the following instructions to solve the problem. ■ If the needle catches too much of the hem fold The needle is too far to the left. Decrease the stitch width so that the needle slightly catches the fold of the hem. … Example: Thick fabric 1 Wrong side of fabric 2 Fold of hem 3 Guide Adjust the stitch width until the needle slightly catches k the fold of the hem. … Example: Normal fabric 1 2 1 Needle drop point When you change the needle drop point, raise the needle, and then change the stitch width. * To make fine adjustments to the needle drop point, adjust the stitch width setting.
