2. After that, set your sewing machine for the blind hem; it usually looks like this ( please check your sewing machine manual for more information)

3. Fold your hem 1 1/2 inch or as specified on the pattern you are using and press flat; I have also serged the hem so it won’t fray.

4. Fold the hem to the right side of the fabric, leaving a 1/4 inch space as shown in the picture.

5. Then, when placing the fabric under the presser foot.

Be sure to leave the 1/4 inch extra space from the hemline on the right side, and the garment will be on the left side.

There is a blade in the middle of the presser foot that will separate both sides.

And the stitches will look like the ones in this video:

So, then when you turn the hemline to the right side, you won’t see the stitches, but only 1 dot every 1/2 inch.

In this picture, I am using a contrasting thread that makes it easier for you to understand the tutorial.

However, I recommend you to use a coordinating thread for your projects 😉

Finally, press the hem flat.

And happy sewing!
