Blind Hem For hems on curtains, trousers, skirts, etc. Blind hem for stretch fabrics. Note: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always make a sewing test first. Blind Hem: Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Fold back (as shown in Fig. 1) against the right side of the fabric with the top edge of the hem extending about 7 mm. (1/4") to the right side of the folded fabric. Start to sew slowly on the fold, making sure the needle touches slightly the folded top to catch one or two fabric threads. (2) Unfold the fabric when hemming is completed and press. Note: To make blind hem sewing even easier, use a blind hem foot, available from your SINGER® retailer. 14
