Thank you so much. I have been sewing for so long and could never understand the blind hem procedure. I can finally do them. Love from Australia xoxo

Excellent, thank you. I had tried this on a scrap piece but I couldn't work out how to do this properly on a piece of clothing - thank you for such clear instructions and most of all, well explained and easy to remember the steps, thank you x

Thanks for this; takes the mystery out of the folding over, and the bobbin tip really helps.

Thanks for this great video! I would have loved to see the end result close up to see how little stitch is showing in the teal thread 🙂

Great video thank you! I feel ready to tackle my daughters skirt. If taking up a school skirt that you may want to make longer at a later date, should I unpick the original hem? Does it matter if the blind hem is about 3" up from bottom of the skirt? - Need to keep the length for future growth!

Amazing techniques, thank you! Yet I am struggling to do it, I mean when is supposed to stitch the straight stitches, the top thread doesn’t catch the under thread, although test sewing the blind hem on a piece of the same fabric comes out fine. Already tried to adjust the tension, still the same problem. I have no ideea what to adjust next.

Quick question. When pinning the fabric do you go through all the layer or just the last turned over part?

[jennycam]

Great tutorial! My question is how do you secure the beginning and the ending of the stitching?

[conniecormier]

Not sure how to measure the amount of material that is folded over to get the correct position for my hem. CAn anyone guide me?

I have a big box store MC6650 with an HP plate. Can I use the accufeed walking foot with this plate on my machine?
