5. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
BLIND HEM FOOT
Blind hem feet are obtainable as an optional extra and are available in two sizes. 0.5 for
fine-medium fabrics and 1.0 for medium/heavy fabrics.
Fit the appropriate foot.
Set the stitch length 4 - 5.
Now proceed as follows:
1. Turn up the hem to the required depth and press. Fold the hem back against the §right§ side of
the garment, creating a §soft§ fold on the §wrong§ side of the fabric – See Fig. 1.
2. Place fabric under the presser foot with the §wrong§ side up. Feed the folded edge through the
guide in the front of the foot and lower the presser foot lever. Try a stitch (or several stitches) on
a spare piece of the actual fabric, and adjust the guide so that the needle just catches the fold.
Adjust the guide by means of the small screw on the top of the foot – See Fig. 2.
3. When correctly set, sew the hem. The outside edge will be cut away by the machine – See also
Fig. 2. After completion, open out and press again. The stitches should be almost invisible on
the §right§ of the fabric – See Fig. 3.
