[@GanganDi]

Thank you!! I have watched so many videos that do not completely explain the machine settings!!

[@kathylapierre2188]

Thank you! I bought my overlock Pro finish Singer yesterday and I didn’t know how to make a blind hem. Now I know ☺️

[@lmhnelson]

Your videos are so helpful and i can follow and understand your directions so well.

[@SaunWhee]

Your demos are the best...I love that you show practical application for the feet or technique! Keep up the good work :-)

[@jazzers50]

Excellent instructions

[@1blublaze]

Thanks, love your videos and company. Always wanted to sit down and do the blind hem, but have not taken the time. When you are only 5 feet tall this is the one of the things I do all the time.

[@lynncook5240]

Thanks for you tutorial, I see you have a singer Profinish serger, I have a 5 thread and another 3/4 thread and just got my Profinish today. I have all the feet that singer makes for the serger it's great that they fit all the singer sergers.

[@scarlettcoldiron2392]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us! Scarlett

[@KimPhilibert1203]

loved this video. I am just getting into the hemming of some knits and this was very helpful. Easy to follow and clearly understandable! Thank you

[@zombiegirl71]

You have the most awesome vids! Learned to serger so fast with your guidance thank u

[@howardgoldstein8290]

I also have this foot, but have never used it...I have been hemming all my knits on my regular sewing machine, Singer 7470 using a double needle...you have inspired me to finally get out this foot & venture into making this hem...Thanks for the terrific video...Howard

[@miss55704]

Finally! A tutorial that makes sense on how to do this with a server. Thank you!

[@reneeraymore3962]

Helpful video and my serger is just like yours. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@themima5]

So helpful. Thank you Carrie. Very easy to follow.

[@mharbeck1]

Just learning knit & dance fabrics - this helped very much!

[@fbtheboss]

Very simple instructions thank you and I really need that pressing machine!

[@leftcoastgal5134]

Awesome technique to use instead of a cover stitch!

[@christincartwright6597]

I love your tutorials! Thanks

[@olii6382]

Thank you! Your videos are always super easy to follow for a newbie sewer.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

We are so glad you enjoy them! Thank you for watching.

[@vuyiswamasombuka583]

Thanks a lot all your videos are awesome.

[@leannasteiner7790]

Thank you, you did a nice job on the blind hem tutorial

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!

[@danko6582]

Looks like skill and good vision is needed.

[@maggiem4734]

Ty so much! This is super helpful!! Have a blessed day. 🙏🏼💕

[@bethguilliams9646]

Thank you for this video!! So helpful!

[@ToniGuerrero]

Thanks for the tutorial. I wish you had shown the back of the hem as well, so that we can see what it looks like from the inside.

[@kevincfunk]

Just bought my first serger (Brother 1034dx). So far this video has been the most helpful in terms of detail, quality, and close-up shots. Wondering if you could do another video on creating a blind hem on a shirt or pant leg, using the serger knife. I've found the process of where to measure to determine the new length + the hem length + do i need to rough-cut the fabric ahead of time + do I iron a crease in both the new hemmed edge, as well as on the crease where the blind hem stitch will fall (and then later iron it flat?). Thanks!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you for the suggestions! We will pass them along to our marketing department. Thank you for the support!

[@susangover3612]

Super helpful. Thank you!

[@lorrellholtz-oxley3039]

Thanks for your excellent videos! Great iron, too!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you for your comment!

[@cristinakineke1298]

Love your videos, Thanks!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you for watching!

[@champagnej5998]

Yay! Finally! Thanks so much!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you, Carrie!

[@pauletteflores1822]

Are you using the cutter knife to trim the ragged edge as you hem?

[@InLawsAttic]

I used to do this WAY back When on my ancient sewing machine, same technique with a blind hem stitch on the machine. But, I gave all that away and am now looking at getting into sewing again- but am wondering if I need a sewing machine at all- do you think I only need a serger for sewing clothes, projects and jeans? Thanks for your teaching!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Hmm, I wish I could give you a clear answer, but really, it just depends. Sergers are really used in conjunction with a sewing machine. That being said, there are a ton of projects that can be sewn with just a serger, but if you are thinking about jean construction, I would invest in a simple, quality straight stitch zig zag and a quality serger/coverstitch machine. However, you could also invest in a high quality sewing machine for tacking heavy material and an average overlock. I wish it was a clearer answer, but it really just depends. I would recommend both a sewing machine and a serger.

[@InLawsAttic]

Sewing Parts Online Well, you gave me an idea. Since I gave all my stuff away and am starting over, years later, I want real options: I think I will go with a used upholstery machine,(I used to do that) because I love jeans, and heavy uphostery projects; then get a medium quality sewing machine, and the best serger I can afford! :) When I was just learning serging, YEARS ago, they were beasts to sew on, I see they have improved and LOOVVED your lesson! Will be watching more...Your style is great! THANKs!!

[@KimPhilibert1203]

I don't think JUST a serger will do for you. There are a LOT of things that you still need a regular machine to do. I love my machines. I have a Brother 1034D serger and a Brother Embroidery/Sewing machine and they are amazing!

[@InLawsAttic]

Thanks so much! I wanted a brother sewing, and was wondering if their serger was good- I will definately check it out.

[@KimPhilibert1203]

InLaws Attic you will love it if you purchase one. I have been on it for 3 weeks just making anything I can think of so I have a chance to use it. Make sure you get ALL of the feet that come w/ it. I was missing one, but Brother had no problem sending it right out to me. Great customer service from them

[@arlenemurphy804]

Thank you so much

[@soniaclarkson3766]

I am a VERY beginner and have been watching all your tutorials. I have a serger like yours and a basic singer sewing machine. Can presser feet for sewing be used on a serger. I have a blind hem foot for may machine but not for a serger

[@MeSeeVeeTee]

Thank you for your helpful tutorials. My machine instructs to use the right needle for blind hemming. Is it always make/model specific or could I be tweaking my technique by switching to the left instead of the right needle to get a better result from any machine? I'm still struggling to get the needle thread loose enough to iron flat.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

You can tweak your technique to accomplished what you specifically need to be done. I always recommend experimenting. Good luck!

[@bpollard61]

Any tips when using this method on a curved hem?

[@b0bstar285]

Super Cool Lady. A Gr8 vid indeed !

[@kimmimaloney603]

Great video! Did you disengage your cutting blades?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Hi kimmi maloney ! I actually have my blade engaged during this, that way I can get the raw edge trimmed up. However, you can disengage if you like.

[@wonderwolk]

Cool tut. Thanks! Can a Serger do more decorative (visible) stitches on a hem? :)

[@joankaczor4882]

Do you leave the clutters engaged, or disengage them when blind hemming? Thank you.

[@Natalie_ojitos_bonitos]

Can u make a video of how to finish it off once the seams are sewn together. Most videos just show how to sew on a straight piece if fabric

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Thank you so much!

[@cindi-starr]

Is there a part number for the Singer 14HD854 blind hem stitch foot? I know you didn't use one in the video but I'm interested in getting one. Thanks.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Yes! It is part #250060496. Available here: www.sewingpartsonline.com/products/blind-hem-foot-singer-250060496 Let us know if you have any other questions!

[@hajerm]

Your videos are SOOO helpful. Thanks for sharing! Q - is this blind hem similar to a flatlock stitch? I have a 20+ year old 5 thread serger which does not have a hem option and this blind hem seems like I should be able to do if I set it up for 3 thread flatlock and just fold the fabric like you do in this video.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Heather Mitchell Yes -- it is basically a backwards flacklock. The ladder stitch that forms on the one side of the flatlock is used to create the discrete sttiches. This makes for a perfect blind hem. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

[@sweetkaeson1081]

So just one needle when doing this?

[@bikrgran]

Great video. I assume you've dropped the cutter. If you said, I didn't catch it. Thanks!

[@endlessdznsbycarrie8356]

Great video...as always!

[@teresacole3915]

Do you use same method on polyester

[@katieneumann1259]

Do you disable the knife?

[@tikdoe7563]

Can this be done with any serger?

[@learntocrochet1]

Did you remove the lessons on Pfaff 4862?

[@PetLoverDusia]

thank you

[@teresacole3915]

What do you do with the blade

[@marilyn6068]

I have had my serger almost 4 years and am nervous about taking the needle out. Could you leave it in, and just remove the thread?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I understand that is can be nerve-racking; however, it is important to understand how to change your needle. What is the make and model of your machine and I will be happy to see if we offer a manual that can take you through the steps of changing your needle?

[@marilyn6068]

Well, I got brave and took the needle out and actually did a pretend hem . Missed some places but will practice. Thanks for your video.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Great job Marilyn!

[@gursahibsohi9938]

i like it

[@richyjames1378]

Omg i need one of them irons haha

[@evangelinedion8685]

Richy James . ..

[@fezzerbean93]

Thank you so much! I haven't started using my serger yet because I want to learn how to use it and sew what I'm planning on making only using the serger for the whole thing. I always just used a regular machine. Wanting to do things differently for a change.😊

[@alirE2904]

What about the blade?

[@diamontewilliams6751]

Can you use a (Cut and hem foot/sew and serge attachment) to blind hem, rolled hem....etc

[@SewingPartsOnline]

The Cut and Hem foot is really just an overcast foot with a blade attached. It won't be able to mimic a rolled hem or blind hem properly. I'm sorry =(

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Actually, ignore me. You can create a rolled hem, but I'm not sure on the blind hem. I don't think there would be a problem, but I have never tried it before. Give it a go and let us know if it works!
