How To Use A Blind Hem Foot

[@margaretingle1322]

What a clear concise and helpful tutorial, and no superfluous music drowning out your voice. Thankyou

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CherishDuhhofficial]

You're the only person who can talk about how to do things and me not get impatient and bored.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

HAHAHA Thank you! I try to keep thing as attention friendly as possible LOL

[@CherishDuhhofficial]

Well you don't stutter, your voice isn't monotone, and you seem to be genuinely passionate about sewing. I'm not ever confused. I've watched tons of videos and I loose interest after the first minute of them over explaining, you're straight to the point. Keep it up ^_^ ohhhh can you maybe do a vid demonstrating the difference between a ruffles and a gathering foot?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Well thank you so much! We have an article on our blog describing the difference between the gathering foot and ruffler foot, but if you are more of a visual person I could probably make a quick video. See, the ruffler foot makes pleats, which is great for a structured, crisp look. The gather foot is basically a bunch of fabric scrunched up together, creating a softer, flowy appearance.

[@CherishDuhhofficial]

I had watched a singer video that said that a ruffler was better for thicker fabrics. With a gathering foot, can you adjust the space of the ruffles?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I've used a ruffler foot with thin fabric and found it worked well. With a gathering foot, you can adjust the fullness by changing the tension and stitch length.

[@Billybloop]

I sew with this foot even when I'm not hemming. It makes it easier to sew in a straight line.

[@davidmarks509]

Yes it looks very handy

[@CK9mum]

Omg. Thank you! This was driving me crazy. My sewing machine manual was useless. I now have a beautiful blind hem ❤️

[@danbear5254]

I really appreciate how you take the time to explain the what, how and why of each step, thank you very much.

[@KH-qj6er]

You're my hero! Thank you. Watched about 5 useless videos until I got to yours. Problem solved, everything explained!

[@gillianmackenzie2998]

This is a great demo - I couldn’t get my head around the fold from the instructions with my sewing machine and this helped loads! Thank you .

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I am glad that it was helpful. Thank you for watching!

[@bothloveme]

I couldn't understand the way I have to fold until I've seen this video. Thank you very much. It was very helpful

[@TracyWHI]

found this foot in my assortment of sewing foots- thanks for the explanation. :)

[@Saucyakld]

We use it for turned edge applique, makes a nice edge and no hand sewing. Great hem too, I tried it with same colour as the trousers, pressed it and it looks,as though it has not been sewn. Thank you for the demo, nice and clear

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Brilliant idea to use it for applique! Thanks for sharing!

[@danbear5254]

I had never considered turning the edge of appliqué, I’m just starting and appreciate you, thank you.

[@beverleygreen7847]

just taking up sewing as a hobby. I found this tutorial very useful

[@gypsygirl731]

Good demonstration. Thank you and I’m glad we have this attachment now a days. For me I find ironing it when you fold it back a teeny bit like your about to hem. I press it as I’ve tried to grab a little teeny bit and along the way it goes amuck it’s nice to have the guide but pressing it for me not everyone, works better

[@patkalanquin7478]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRINTING YOUR MESSAGE ON A BLACK BACKGROUND..SO HELPFUL EVERYONE SHOULD DO THAT..

[@VAshley]

I am teaching my niece to sew and tell her to watch your videos when I'm not around. You are very clear and not too fast. Thank you for always having manicured nails all the timr as well! Pet peeve of mine.. I can't watch videos with unkept nails. I know, I'm weird that way.

[@digitalbreakthroughs]

LOL! I was thinking the same thing about her nails, comparing them to some of the other videos.

[@kimberleygamble8969]

Hi folks from Sewing Parts Online I agree with Winnie Raj that you all made that look so easy & it was well explained & wasn't complicated at all that I'm willing to go try it again but this time on a skirt I had tried it on a piece of scrap fabric awhile ago. However I just posted to say out of all the video tutorials I've watched on doing a blind hem stitch on the sewing machine I think yours was by far the best one I ever came across cuz it was simple enough to follow. Thanks very much for sharing this tute & I look forward to your Response A.S.A.P!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Kimberley Gamble Hi! Thank you for your kind words! Good luck on the skirt! I bet it's going to look awesome!

[@kimberleygamble8969]

Ok Np! Hi thanks also for your kind words yip the skirt looks awesome & I did got the blind hem stitch done on the skirt hem but when done it created a puckered/gathered along the hem allowance part of the skirt even when I went & press it out it won't come out I guess it had to do something with the settings I had it set to when created the stitch & I didn't like how it look so I took it out & decided to hand sew it instead. But TAFS! & I Look forward to your response A.S.A.P! NB: My Query Is they a certain/pursific stitch setting you are to use when creating the blind hem stitch on a manual(not computerized) domestic sewing machine or whatever & so forth; just asking becuz I'm not quite sure about the setting you're to have or not have; thanks & again I look forward to you reply soon.

Thank you so much. I leant something today

[@dahonmendoza2375]

hi, can I use this blind hemmer foot as an edge stitch guide also? thanks.

[@Zayaxa]

I'm wondering this too.

[@ellesnyder942]

does the machine stitch setting choose the width? If not how wide do you use?

[@winnieraj5896]

Wow u made this look so easy. Thanks 4 the video

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thanks for watching!

[@chaimachouchou5316]

You're great thank youuuu 💪💪💪

[@charmainecoombs4289]

What type of machine is this ? Thank you for responding.

[@gracieweller4146]

Will this work on a pillow?

[@brookejaso516]

Great video. Do you have to have a blind gem foot to be able to do a blind hem or is it more just used for a guide?

[@ethelryan257]

It is strictly a guide. You don't have to have it. The guide makes it easier when you are working with thread which really closely matches the fabric - which is the whole idea, of course. But, if you take your time and pay attention, you can do just as well without as with. I've done it both ways. Alongside my more modern machines, I have an ancient Singer blind-hem attachment for straight stitch machines. It does perfect blindhemming.

[@sonuchinkisonuchinki1237]

Helpful video frnd 👍👍👍

[@janetmckinney2487]

what foot can I use for a blinging on a neck of a baby bib

[@donnalawrence610]

yes on a different video I posted that I could not find your site but I have found it and think it is great and will be buying some feet from you

[@MyFungal]

can you use the blind stitch on silk fabrics?

[@BijouxVaudou]

Is there any way to make those stitches even smaller? I hand sew hems but it takes forever, this way is so quick (now that I finally understand it from your video! Thanks!) but you can see nearly nothing at all when hand stitching and I want tiny tiny stitches with this method :( I know the white shows up more in contrast but they still look too big for what I'm used to, thanks to anyone in advance!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Bijoux Vaudou Hi! I know what you mean - with hand sewing it's so tiny and nearly invisible. The trick isn't to make the stitch smaller, but to have the needle just barely penetrate the fabric fold. So, if i need a really invisible hem, i'll move the fold as far to the left of the needle as I can and sew slowly to ensure the needle point is just knicking the fold. It takes a little longer, but it's definitely faster than hand sewing.

[@nazishzehra2830]

Which machine u r using. Plz tell its model

[@shujjomukhi3654]

Did you put the wheel on a zigzag position? Actually sorry to say you all, when you are use any of your pressure feet you never say or show whether any function of the machine needs to be changed these use for. That is very very important to show us if there is any change of length wheel and zigzag wheel.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I apologize for the frustration. In this video, she used a blind hem stitch. If you double-check your manual, it will tell you which one to use. If you need assistance, please let me know your make and model and I will see if I can help you.

[@debbieminton5885]

Great job.

[@dianasaur2131]

Any advice on how to sew gimp as decorative trim without it puckering or pulling the fabric due to its elasticity, I'm having to do it by hand sewing which takes ages atm. Thanks

[@SewingPartsOnline]

We do not currently have a video about sewing gimp; however, there are several tutuorials on KZbin.

[@ybarsky]

Great video. Very helpful. Thanks

[@ninamarie4146]

What machine is this please? Thank you for your video :)

[@francesca4230]

Amazing! Thank you so much😍

[@macrick]

Sorry, I know I suppose to learn how to hem, but I find your face is cute :)

[@larryenglish8900]

cute instructor

[@MyFungal]

could you please make a video of what each presser foot does in one video

[@AngelaMTerry-kd4xf]

These parts will fit any machines that are snap on parts?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Angela M. Terry Yup! Just make sure your stitch width fits

[@alfredstclair192]

very good tutorial thank you :)

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Yup, you sure can.

[@rudrajadhavxadvanced512]

but u didnt show tension and legnth , neddle no for all fabric. i like u r all videos of presser feet but please show the things above mention .thanks

[@Catherine-wk3gd]

She is using a blind hem stitch therefore she doesnt need to adjust stitch length or tension. Use the appropriate needle for the fabric, simple.

[@prenticealexander6633]

What model machine do you use? I'm on the market for a new one. My old one doesn't make auto cuts and isn't strong enough for thicker materials that I intend to use. Thanks in advance. Really great video

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Prentice Alexander Hi! The machine in this video is a Brother LB6800PRW - I've really enjoyed it!

[@rich-f-in-tx6388]

@@SewingPartsOnline Brother machines are junk that are cheaply made by the Chinese. Juki (Japan) is the best these days. Even Bernina isn't what it used to be since they moved out of 🇨🇭 Switzerland. Sad.

[@gobonniego]

I have a couple Brother machines, along with many more of other brands. My Brother (XR9000) works fine and was reasonably priced. I use it for most of my daily sewing. I know what you’re saying about junk machines. Before the Brother, I would only use vintage, heavy sewing machines. I still have them and still use them occasionally, but the Brother machine is now my go-to machine. I wouldn’t have normally purchased this newer machine, but it kind of dropped into my lap. I wish people looking for sewing machines would think about what they want out of a machine before purchasing one of the newer models. Most older zigzag machines do everything you would want. Some of the “newer” older machines also do a blind hem stitch which is the only thing you might need beyond straight and zigzag stitches. The older machines do buttonholes, either internally or with an add on. The old metal machines, although heavy, also don’t have the same problem with mechanical/computer glitches as the new ones do. Oil will usually fix what’s wrong. And if someone is on a tight budget, an older machine can be had for around $20. How many times do you think you’ll need that stitch of duckies in a row? I don’t miss any of those stitches.

[@losik01]

Thank you for help.Bless you.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you God Bless!

[@cnellz7932]

Great video

[@marycronin5595]

CAn I buy one

[@SewingPartsOnline]

What is the make and model of your machine?

[@EreneWOlson]

I just tried this a good 5 times and it ends up the same way on both sides, no blind hems. 🙃What am I doing wrong?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Hmmm....I would need to see a picture. Can you upload a picture on our Facebook page?

[@andrealjubicic8221]

hi, I haven't no idea what to use this part for and it came with my machine, but I am having the same problem as Erene...I tried and fail...so I am thinking it must bi because I am using wrong settings, what did you set your machine to work - some kind of special stitches?

[@EreneWOlson]

It was the way I was folding it

[@andrealjubicic8221]

tnx, I will try several more times and hope that I will get it

[@Catherine-wk3gd]

Use the blind hem stitch on your machine, look at the sewing machine manual.

[@zossie5h]

Thanks for showing the raw edge turned under. Most of the videos on blind hem leave the raw edge exposed.. That is not what you would do.

[@vanimadav2947]

this foot i can use normal sewing machine

[@rosamarques6507]

Tem como traduzir em português

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Sinto muito. Não temos essa opção.

[@agl945]

Great video except for the fact you pulled you fabric through the machine instead of letting the feed dogs do it

[@tamaralamar5073]

i l💓 it

[@sharonliu77]

the right side can see clearly stitches, the blind hem does not see stitches

[@gabbyg561]

It is because She was using white thread against a navy blue fabric, to show what it does. If She used a navy blue thread, you wouldn't have seen it, but it wouldn't have worked very well for the demo.

[@dyland9147]

[@adin.5944]

Yeah but if u see the stitch …

[@kathleenstrebeck5434]

Spell much?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

It's a daily struggle.

[@briandennisdodd]

abolute rubish to show so mutch stitch on the wright side of dress. not good enough. brian from uk

[@gabbyg561]

Why do you say that?... Sarah was using a white thread for demonstration purposes. If She had used a navy blue thread, you wouldn't have seen the thread.

brian dodd The stich is adjustable. Her demonstration was to show the purpose and versatility of the foot.

[@MyChilepepper]

Lol, Brian, stick to carpentry dude!

[@rich-f-in-tx6388]

Never pull fabric through a sewing machine. That's what the feed dogs are for. 🙄
