BLIND
STITCH
This technique creates
stitches that are almost
invisible on the outside.
Neaten the raw edge, then
turn up the hem. Tack in
position, 5mm from the
neatened edge. Fold the
garment along the tacked
line, away from the hem so
that the neatened edge is on
the right. Prepare your
sewing machine with a blind-
stitch foot to the right of the
fold, adjusting the stitch
width so that the zigzag stitch
just catches the fold, and sew
the hem. Take a few minutes
to position it to ensure the
stitch is invisible on the right
side of the garment.
