APPLICATIONS
OF
THE
STRETCH
BLIND
HEM
HEMMING
The
stretch
blind
hem
stitch
gives
a
stretchy,
durable
hem
finish
to
knit
fabrics.
The
two
tiny
zigzag
stitches
enable
the
hem
to
stretch
with
the
fabric.
It
may
also
prevent
woven
fabrics
from
raveling.
Proceed
as
for
the
regular
blind
hem
stitch
on
page
(25).
EDGING
The
stretch
blind
hem
stitch
can
be
used
as
an
edging,
like
the
blanket
stitch
done
by
hand.
By
using
a
fairly
short
stitch
length,
the
stitches
lie
very
close
together.
It
can
be
used
for
over
casting
and
finishing
the
edges
of
tablecloths,
napkins
and
ruffles.
The
edge
may
be
turned
up
about
1/2
inch
and
then
overcast
with
the
stretch
blind
hem.
Cord
or
pearl
cotton
may
be
used
to
give
a
raised
effect
to
the
stitches.
Simply
place
2-4
strands
of
pearl
cotton
or
em
broidery
floss
under
the
foot
and
stitch
over
it.

EYELASH
BUTTONHOLE
A
unique
way
of
reinforcing
buttonholes
on
loosely
woven
fabrics
or
buttonholes
in
which
the
stitches
have
been
accidently
cut,
is
to
over
cast
them
with
a
short
stretch
blind
hem
stitch.
Overcast
each
side
of
the
buttonhole
so
the
far
right
stitch
falls
into
the
opening
of
the
button
hole
and
the
small
zigzag
stitches
cover
the
previous
buttonhole
side.
On
completion
of
one
side
of
the
buttonhole,
pivot
the
fabric
with
the
needle
at
the
far
right
in
the
opening
of
the
buttonhole
at
the
bartack.
Sew
up
the
other
side
in
the
same
manner.
