Description
The Blindhem & Lace Foot is ideal for sewing invisible hems and applying lace. The hem is sewn, overlocked, and trimmed in one simple step.
Blind Hem:
-
Set your overlocker to the desired stitch.
-
Attach the Blindhem Foot.
-
Fold and press the hem in place. Then turn the hem back on itself towards the right side of the fabric, leaving 6mm (¼") of the edge exposed.
-
Position the hem under the foot with the fold resting against the guide on the foot.
-
Loosen the guide screw to adjust the guide so the needle just catches the fold of the fabric.
-
Guide the fabric as you sew, ensuring the fold stays snug against the guide.
-
Open the fabric out and lightly press on the wrong side.
-
Always test on a scrap piece of fabric before sewing your actual project.
Lace:
-
Set your overlocker to the desired stitch.
-
Attach the Blindhem Foot.
-
Place the wrong side of the lace onto the right side of the fabric.
-
Position the fabric under the foot with the fabric extending to the right of the guide. The header of the lace should sit against the left side of the guide.
-
Loosen the guide screw to adjust the guide so the needle just catches the header of the lace.
-
Guide the fabric as you sew, ensuring the header of the lace stays neatly against the guide.
-
When finished, open the lace flat. Fold the seam allowance to the back of the fabric and press.
-
If using insertion lace, repeat the process on the other side of the lace.
