Blind Hem
Choose the proper blind hem stitch for either woven or knit.
I usually serge my edges first, but if you don’t have a serger, then I
recommend either doing a zig zag on the raw edge or turning it under ¼” and
pressing it down.
Then turn under the size of hem you want. I usually
do 1 ½”. I have the serged edge facing me. I Put the
point of the pin about ¼” from the serged or folded
edge and pin is facing the bottom of the pants.
Then turn the hem under so only the ¼” sticks out.
Attach the D foot and place the fabric under the foot so the folded edge of
the hem lays against the left protrusion of D foot.
The stitching will start on the edge that sticks out and the zig zag stitch
that holds the hem will stitch a tiny stitch in the fold. When you are done,
you will see only those tiny stitches.
Here’s how I fold the pants legs.
