Use this sewing method to sew the hems of skirts and pants with blind stitches. With this method, the stitching
cannot be seen from the front of the fabric.
1 Select the stitch in the operation panel.
* Check that the OEKAKI (free-motion embroidering) button is not lit.
* Refer to “Selecting the stitch” (page 44).
2 Select the stitch width and stitch length.
* Refer to “Selecting the stitch width” (page 45) and “Selecting the stitch length” (page 46).
3 Sew overcasting along the edge of the
fabric, and then fold the fabric as
shown.
* Tack or iron a crease 6 to 8 mm from the edge of
the fabric.
* For details on tacking, refer to “Tacking” (page
84), or stitch by hand.
4 At the tacking or the crease that was
ironed, fold back the fabric so that
wrong side faces upward.
5 Press the (needle up/down) button to raise the needle.
