- You will need your Blind Hem Presser Foot
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!
