Closed Overlock Stitch The closed overlock stitch can be used for sewing medium to heavier weight stretch fabrics. Use this stitch to hem stretch fabrics (A) and for belt loops (B). Fold a hem to the wrong side and stitch with closed overlock 5.0 2.5 3-5 stitch from the right side. Trim away excess fabric. Set up for closed overlock stitch A B Blind Hems The blind hem stitch is used to make invisible hems on skirts, trousers and home décor projects. There are two types of blind hem; one is recommended for medium to heavy woven fabric (1), the other for medium to heavy stretch fabric (2). • Finish the raw edge of the hem if sewing on a woven fabric. There is no need to finish the raw edge first on most knits. • Fold and press the hem allowance to the wrong side. • Fold the hem back on itself so approximately 3/8" (1 cm) of the finished edge extends beyond the fold. The wrong side of your project should now be facing up. • Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the fold runs along edge guide (A). • When the needle swings into the fold it should catch a small amount of fabric. If the stitches are visible on the right side, adjust edge guide (A) by turning the adjusting screw (B) until the stitch that catches the hem just barely shows.
