Very good instructions. I had to watch it a couple of times to get the folding part correct, but once I did, this video made it easy. Thank you.

@janeurquhart7843 9 лет назад

Thank you. Very helpful as I do not have time to hand stitch hem on curtains and your video has clearly shown me what I need to do.

@paulawood784 9 лет назад

I could NOT for the life of me figure this out on my own, reading the instructions over and over. THANK YOU!

@laeliawatt8593 5 лет назад

Me too! Even the visuals in my sewing machine handbook did not make sense after going over them a dozen times. It was the part where she flips both "wrong" sides of the fabric to have that little part of the hem under the foot that was the part I missed. Epiphany!

I agreed. Most of other videos just talk too much about tips and what's not without even showing how it's done. It's preposterous. I'm grateful this this video really how how it's done rightfully.

Oh wow! I am so pleased I found you! I have never been brave enough to attempt using this foot, as like the last comment, I could not fathom the instructions..... the folding part was worse and just this very second have practiced on scrap fabric and TaDa easy ..... you made it so simple to follow.

THANK YOU!!! I have had my machine for 3-4 years and haven't done any projects. I have to hem my husbands dress pants and was procrastinating because I didn't know how to do the blind stitch (also, I misplaced the manual to my machine :( ) I don't think I have the foot but I'm going to attempt this anyway. This was very simple to follow. I'll keep you posted...

@knitwisepurlwise118 6 лет назад

I can’t thank you enough. I was beginning to think that my right and left brain had swapped sides and my spacial abilities had left me. All better now that you’ve showed me this. Same theory would apply if sewing a double fold binding yes?

@einzgeisha 9 лет назад

Thank you for showing me this. In the future would like to do a clothing project (corset) and on the bottom of the piece of clothing, I would need to hide and secure the fabric over the shaping corset. Also...makes me wonder, but I guess I have been doing my hems all wrong all these years! but still...they've worked an nobody has noticed nor said anything with the way I've sewn things in the past.

@Needlepointers 9 лет назад

PrincessMary Gatchalian How did you do your hems in the past?

@einzgeisha 9 лет назад

Needlepointers Hello! I would measure my new pants to my leg/end of foot. cut off the extra and leave about 3 inches so I could fold it up and cut up excess. Fold the extra bottom fabric inward and then bend the fabric outward and sew it on the edge. That little weight would leave like a crisp line, but little weight so the pants would hang nicely onto my shoe. I would leave myself extra because I was younger (earlier 20s) and was still growing in case I wanted to adjust for later.

@Evans951 6 лет назад

I absolutely love your tutorial. I'm working on my first blind hem on my pants I wear in the office. That said, how much slack would you recommend for a typical hem on these type of pants? I figured I wanted a 1 inch hem but I find it a little hard to work with and I've ended up with about 1/2 inch hem. I don't really like the look.

@Needlepointers 6 лет назад

Hi. I am glad you enjoyed our blind hem video. Please subscribe to our channel so you do not miss future videos. With regard to the pants hem, most purchased pants have about a 1" hem.

@normbutler22 5 месяцев назад

hmmm my blind hem foot has a plastic and doesn’t look like this and 2) should the needle position be in line with that guide you referred to. O g have a brother cs6000i and a babylock jubilant and I think i have a knockoff blind hem foot. i’ve had no luck with the zig zag foot either. the stitches are not uniform when it catches the fabric, it catches too much making the stitch very visible or it doesn’t catch it at all. the foot that i have is metal with a triangular shaped plastic guide that can be loosened and tightened.

@Needlepointers 5 месяцев назад

Hi! Thanks for watching our video. I looked up and think I found what your foot looks like. It looks like you would use it similarly but you don't have the extra metal part near the needle. It may be harder to get the fabric to feed through correctly with this foot and get an even stitch but you can get it with practice. The foot we have has a small divot by the needle so the needle can be placed far enough over to catch the fabric. These blind hem stitches will show more on the front of the fabric than a hand stitched blind hem but if you use matching thread, it's not very noticeable. Happy Sewing!

@md.ismailhossain7223 8 лет назад

thanks . Could u pls tell me why u pin the fabric ? u could better to iron it

@Needlepointers 8 лет назад

+ismail hossain You pin the fabric to make sure the fabric does not move when stitching.

@sunnyladner 4 года назад

Well... I went to the basement and got a tape measure out of the toolbox, managed to fold, pin and iron the one foot of curtain I want to remove from a six foot wide panel. Now, before I can even start sewing anything, how do I manage to cut those nice straight lines to get the excess down to those few inches I need left to hem?

@Needlepointers 4 года назад

If you have a rotary cutter, ruler and mat, this would be the best way to cut it down. Otherwise, I would make a line on the fabric where you want to cut it with a long ruler and then carefully cut it on the line. You could also make the line by ironing a crease where the line would be. Happy Sewing!

@sunnyladner 4 года назад

@@Needlepointers I have come to realize that cut carefully and my name do not belong in the same sentence and that whe it comes to sewing in general, patience is a virtue...but I managed!

@carmenwebster3774 5 лет назад

This is so simple ... why is it so difficult in the instruction books ? 😩

@Needlepointers 5 лет назад

I find the reading and understand instructions books and patterns can be very confusing. It is always easier when someone shows you how to do a technique.

@Needlepointers 6 лет назад

It should work but the stitches do usually show a bit on the front. If you really don't want it to show, hand stitching is the way to go.

@hakudoushinumbernine 7 лет назад

would i use this if i were making something reversible?

@Needlepointers 7 лет назад

Thank you for watching this video. To answer your question, I would not use this blind hem stitch if I was making something reversible.

what are blind hems for?

@Needlepointers 11 дней назад

Hi! Blind hems are used for hemming dress pants, skirts or dresses. It's a nearly invisible stitch so is very nice for this application. Happy Sewing!

@mamazabakaka 9 лет назад

Question: do you sew or just iron that first fold that goes under the final hem fold?

@Needlepointers 9 лет назад

Margaret Williams Hello, When making the first fold I just fold it. However, you could iron it if you wish.

@sabrinawalker8098 4 года назад

What if you dont have that foot

@Needlepointers 4 года назад

You could use a regular foot that accommodates a zigzag stitch but you will have too be very careful when stitching.

@putzaroonieputz6898 4 года назад

I did something wrong. LOL there was a sharp crease sewn into my hem stitch it wasn’t smooth with the single tiny stitches like hers. Idk what I did 🤷🏽‍♀️😭🤯

@Needlepointers 4 года назад

If you open it up, do you see the tiny stitches? If you can't open it, then you may have sewn the in between stitches on your hem. The catch stitch should be the only one that sews on the folded over fabric.

@putzaroonieputz6898 4 года назад

I can’t open it up. It’s all sewed up tight : no tiny stitches 😭.

@Needlepointers 4 года назад

Make sure that the one stitch that goes to the left is the only one that catches the folded over fabric.
