Using the blind stitch foot

This foot comes in handy not only for blind hem
stitching, but also for sewing fabric edges and seams.

■ When edge stitching

Turn off the machine.

Attach the blind stitch foot.
Turn on the machine.

CAUTION

Position the needle the distance you want
the stitch to be from the edge of the
fabric, and then lower the needle in that
position.

Turn the foot guide screw and carefully
adjust to guide the fabric.

■ When sewing seams

Turn off the machine.

Attach the blind stitch foot.
Turn on the machine.

CAUTION

Set the pattern selection dial to the
Straight Stitch, and then set the stitch
width at “2.5” (3/32 inch) (center). Align
the foot guide with the needle position.

Set the pattern selection dial to the Zigzag
Stitch.

Place the fabric under the foot so the foot
guide is aligned between both edges of the
fabric.

Lower the presser foot and start sewing.

■ When blind hem stitching

When blind hem stitching using the blind stitch
foot, turn the screw to adjust the guide to the folded
hem.
