KNIT BLINDHEMMING

The zigzag in this blindhem stitch adds stretch, making it

the perfect choice for hemming knits. Use a thread color

that matches the fabric color for the best results.

Turn up the finished edge of the fabric to the desired hem

depth [Fig. 1]. Fold back, leaving a 1/4” edge [Fig. 2].

Place garment under the foot with the folded edge along

the hem guide [Fig. 3]. Adjust the guide by turning the

screw so that the fabric fold is against the guide and the

needle just barely catches the fold as you sew. You may

need to sew a few test samples on scrap fabric to make

the correct guide adjustment on the presser foot.

Stitch slowly.

OVERCASTING

The three-step zigzag is a strong stitch. It takes three

small stitches to the right and three small stitches to the

left.

Use the three-step zigzag stitch to overcast or clean

finish seam allowances.

It is easier to ov

ercast the raw

edges first before seaming.

Position and guide the fabric under the presser foot so

the right swing of the stitch forms just inside the edge of

the fabric [Fig. 4].

MENDING

Use the three-step zigzag to repair small rips and tears.

Place a stabilizer under the tear in the fabric. Sew

along the line of the tear [Fig. 5]. The stitch joins both

sides of the tear.
