The videos I posted have the same kind of blind hem foot that I have, but the technique is the same. I think you could get away with a regular foot, as long as it has room for the needle to go from side to side. I watched a few videos (thank you Internet!) and practiced. It's much easier than it seems.Melindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32215235.post-56868411757183012632010-11-19T14:24:33.074-08:002010-11-19T14:24:33.074-08:00I am a beginner and I recently blind hemmed a pair...I am a beginner and I recently blind hemmed a pair of pants.

It's got a special rolling thing that you line up against the fold, so that the blind stitch only catches a small thread of your upper fabric. I use it for hemming dresses, skirts, anything where the hem is basically straight or slightly curved, when I don't want to hand-stitch. Often when there's a bold print or textured fabric, the machine blind stitch blends in nicely. On really flat or shiny fabrics, I'd hem by hand, or do an on-purpose straight stitched machine hem. <br />Hope this helps!<br />I found this youtube video which is pretty decent:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdKe9crSHac<br />Good luck!Tasiahttp://sewaholic.netnoreply@blogger.com
