Sew Easy: Blind Hem Stitch

Hi. I am Jennifer Tern with Window-Valance-Patterns.com and I am going to show you how you sew a Blind Hem Stitch. When you do not want to see the stitching on out of your fabric a blind hemstitch is a perfect alternative. It is very easy I am going to show you how to do it right now.

Fold and pres your hem and then take it to your sewing machine. For blind hemstitch you are going to need a blind hem foot. So if you do not have one you are going to need for your sewing machine each sewing branded type has it own feet so will need to find your. This is a blind hem foot for my Tornena and it has middle piece in between the foot as a guide for the folded edge on my hem and that is going to make more sense here in just a moments. I will go to put this on my machine and I will show you how to use this to create a blind hem stitch.

Start out with your fabric lay right side down and the hem up pointing towards your sewing machine foots. And then take your hem a little four bits underneath towards the right side of the fabric. Like this and you want to leave about for two other inch f the hem still being revealed here. Slide your hem underneath the blind hem foot so, this will be the edge that is against these little piece right here.

Set your machine to the blind hemstitch and then you can start stitching this hem in place. What the blind hemstitch will do. It so straight stitch along this folded edge here and then every two or three stitches do exist exact stitch and catch just the folded edge over here. So you want your setting s that new things over it just catch the folded edge here and the straight stitching is the longest folded edge here and this is what the blind hem stitch looks like.

And now when you unfold that hem we are going to see this kind of stitch along with top folded edge of the hem but we will work on the first sided here directly panel you are going to see this sticky and that is it. Now I use thread that matches this green of this fabric even you see this stitching here. I purposely use the red thread that you could see it for example of work in this video but normally you would use the same type of fabric and actually best for your face fabric and you would not even see this stocking here. I will going to show the back part one more time and the front part just passes a little tacking go all the way across and that is your blind hem stitch.
