The Blindhem Foot is perfect for sewing invisible hems and for applying lace. The
hem is sewn, overcast and trimmed in one step.

 

How to use:

 

Blindhem:

1. Set the overlock machine for the desired stitch.
2. Snap on the Blindhem Foot.
3. Fold and press the hem in place. Turn the hem back on itself toward the right side of the fabric. Leave ¼”
(6mm) of the edge exposed. (See illustration.)
4. Place the hem under the foot with the fold against the guide on the foot.
5. Loosen the guide screw to adjust the guide so that the needle just catches the thread of the fold.
6. Guide the fabric as you sew, making sure the fold of the fabric is always against the guide.
7. Open the fabric and press lightly on the wrong side.
8. Test on a scrap piece of fabric before sewing your project.

 

Lace:

 

1. Set the overlock machine for the desired stitch
2. Snap on the Blindhem Foot.
3. Place the wrong side of the lace to the right side of the fabric.
4. Place under the foot with the fabric extending to the right of the guide. The header of the lace will be
against the left side of the guide.
5. Loosen the guide screw to adjust the guide so the needle just catches the header of the lace.
6. Guide the fabric as you sew, making sure the header of the lace is always against the guide.
7. When finished, open the lace flat. Fold the seam allowance to the back of the fabric and press.
8. If using insertion lace, repeat on the other side of the lace.
