Utility stitches and practical sewing 2:11 Stitch G stitch F/G 2-3 2-3 1-4 G Stitch F Blindhem Blindhem foot G is best suited for invisible hems; sewing by hand is no longer necessary. Note: On heavy weight fabrics that ravel, the raw edge should be overcasted Àrst. Serge the edge of the hem Fold the edge inwards by the hem width. Now unfold the hem again so that the hem edge protrudes by about 1 cm. Place the fabric under the sewing foot so that the needle just pierces the folded edge. If the needle pierces too far left, move the guide slightly to the left. If the needle misses the fold, move the guide slightly to the right. Sew slowly while guiding the folded edge along the guide. When the needle enters the crease line, it must only pick up one Àber of the fabric. Note: If the needle goes too far left, the stitches will be apparent on the right side of the fabric. Blindhem stitch (elastic) Stitch F is a blindhem stitch for woven or elastic materials. The hem is sewn and overcast at the same time.
