Step 2Preparing and Using the Sewing Machine
Get out your blind hem foot and put it on your machine. Set your machine on the blind hem stitch and use an average stitch length, between a 2 and a 3.
Slide in the fabric wrong side up, and put the foot's plastic straight edge guide right up against the fold. The needle should just barely be piercing the fold of the fabric. Put the needle in the fabric, drop your presser foot, and you can start sewing.
What will happen is the machine will do a little stitching on the part of the fabric you don't see, and then it'll jump over to the right side.
In our example, we used slightly lighter thread so that the stitching is visible to the camera. When you're done, if you use matching thread the hem will be invisible from the right side!
