Starting to sew
1On heavy weight fabrics that ravel, the raw edge
should be overcast first.
Fold the hem leaving a 0.4 – 0.7 cm margin as
illustrated.

w 0.4~0.7 cm (1/8”~1/4”)
2 Place the fabric so the needle just pierces the
edge of the fold when the needle swings to the left.
Lower the presser foot.
3 There is a sliding guide on the blind hem foot that
allows you to precisely control where the
needle pierces the edge of the fabric fold.
Turn the screw to align the left side of the guide
on the foot with the fold.
Sew, guiding the folded edge along the guide
on the foot.

* If the needle pierces too far left, the stitches will
show on the right side of the fabric.
NOTE:
When sewing a blind hem with the zigzag foot, care-
fully guide the fabric so the needle just pierces the
edge of the fold.
NOTE:
The blind hem foot is an optional item.
