Thank you so much! I've watched other videos but yours is the 1st one that actually taught me something. It makes sense now, thanks so much, i feel like crying
I'm glad you liked our video! We have many other video tutorials for stitches/techniques in sewing. ruclips.net/p/PLmfp5aNSxEF0csPsxImiN-XfQa7p4kQiz
Perfect instructions. how to fold the fabric was confusing until watching this video. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
I just watched several tutorials on this, and yours is by far the best and easiest to follow. Thank you!
Thank you for watching our video on the blind hem stitch and thank you for the nice compliment.
Thank you. Very helpful as I do not have time to hand stitch hem on curtains and your video has clearly shown me what I need to do.
Not even 8 in the morning+ project due at 4pm today+ super picky professor+ mandated hem that I hate.
This video is saving my sanity #ThankGOD
The best and the clearest instructions on how to do blind hem in RUclips. Thanks so much 👍🏻
You're very welcome!
Very good instructions. I had to watch it a couple of times to get the folding part correct, but once I did, this video made it easy. Thank you.
Thank you! Just shrunk my curtains... Happy to be able to lengthen them again and finish them properly. Greetings from Belgium
Thank you! This was very concise and helpful.
Thank you! Clear and simple instructions! You've been a great help!
Excellent video..I have seen many videos on blind hemming and this is one of the best !! best wishes , a man who sews Bill
Thank you! You did a great job showing how to get the fold right. I finally have mastered how to do a blind hem.
I could NOT for the life of me figure this out on my own, reading the instructions over and over. THANK YOU!
Paula Wood We are glad you were now able to understand how to do the blind hem stitch using a sewing machine. We have other sewing videos which may be of interest to you. Check them out.
Me too! Even the visuals in my sewing machine handbook did not make sense after going over them a dozen times. It was the part where she flips both "wrong" sides of the fabric to have that little part of the hem under the foot that was the part I missed. Epiphany!
You’re the best! None of the videos i watched told me how to correctly fold the fabric

Best video to show this!!
I agreed. Most of other videos just talk too much about tips and what's not without even showing how it's done. It's preposterous. I'm grateful this this video really how how it's done rightfully.
Wow, thanks!
Thanks, quick and to the point.
Thank you for making an easy to understand video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! That was so helpful. I was able to fix a pair of pants for my sister.
This has helped me a lot and I refer to it every time I need to use this stitch. Thank you for taking the time to make this video 😀

Jose Alfredo Reyes Thank you very much for your comment on our blind hem stitch video. Please like, share and subscribe to our RUclips channel.
I've been sewing for 50 years (on and off) and have never seen this done. Thank you! So simple!!!!
THANK YOU!!! I have had my machine for 3-4 years and haven't done any projects. I have to hem my husbands dress pants and was procrastinating because I didn't know how to do the blind stitch (also, I misplaced the manual to my machine :( ) I don't think I have the foot but I'm going to attempt this anyway. This was very simple to follow. I'll keep you posted...
Peggie Zamiaty Thank you for your comment. Since you liked the video, please like, share and subscribe to our channel. We also have other sewing videos which may be of interest.

Maureen Crowley I am glad the video was informative and you know understand how to do the blind hem stitch. Please like, share and subscribe to our channel.
Excellent instructions. I could not make head nor tail of the instructions in my machine's handbook!
me too hence finding this video. i have been taught soooo much through youtube ^^
Anna Hooley me either.. I’ve been sewing for years and could never figure it out 😂😂
Thanks so much! Hours spent trying to understand my manual. Now I get it!!
I can’t thank you enough. I was beginning to think that my right and left brain had swapped sides and my spacial abilities had left me. All better now that you’ve showed me this. Same theory would apply if sewing a double fold binding yes?
Wala!
Thank you so much
Thank you for showing me this. In the future would like to do a clothing project (corset) and on the bottom of the piece of clothing, I would need to hide and secure the fabric over the shaping corset.
Also...makes me wonder, but I guess I have been doing my hems all wrong all these years! but still...they've worked an nobody has noticed nor said anything with the way I've sewn things in the past.
PrincessMary Gatchalian How did you do your hems in the past?
Needlepointers Hello! I would measure my new pants to my leg/end of foot. cut off the extra and leave about 3 inches so I could fold it up and cut up excess. Fold the extra bottom fabric inward and then bend the fabric outward and sew it on the edge. That little weight would leave like a crisp line, but little weight so the pants would hang nicely onto my shoe. I would leave myself extra because I was younger (earlier 20s) and was still growing in case I wanted to adjust for later.
Excellent video...my manual made it seem like brain surgery. It's "sew" simple, thank you!!!
Thank you for watching our blind hem stitch video. We are delighted that it was helpful. Learning to do a new technique or something is so much easier when you see it done than to try to read how to do it in a manual. That is one reason we make our video tutorial. Please subscribe to our channel so you don't miss future videos.
I absolutely love your tutorial. I'm working on my first blind hem on my pants I wear in the office. That said, how much slack would you recommend for a typical hem on these type of pants? I figured I wanted a 1 inch hem but I find it a little hard to work with and I've ended up with about 1/2 inch hem. I don't really like the look.
Hi. I am glad you enjoyed our blind hem video. Please subscribe to our channel so you do not miss future videos.
With regard to the pants hem, most purchased pants have about a 1" hem.
hmmm my blind hem foot has a plastic and doesn’t look like this and 2) should the needle position be in line with that guide you referred to. O g have a brother cs6000i and a babylock jubilant and I think i have a knockoff blind hem foot. i’ve had no luck with the zig zag foot either. the stitches are not uniform when it catches the fabric, it catches too much making the stitch very visible or it doesn’t catch it at all. the foot that i have is metal with a triangular shaped plastic guide that can be loosened and tightened.
Hi! Thanks for watching our video. I looked up and think I found what your foot looks like. It looks like you would use it similarly but you don't have the extra metal part near the needle. It may be harder to get the fabric to feed through correctly with this foot and get an even stitch but you can get it with practice. The foot we have has a small divot by the needle so the needle can be placed far enough over to catch the fabric. These blind hem stitches will show more on the front of the fabric than a hand stitched blind hem but if you use matching thread, it's not very noticeable. Happy Sewing!
thanks . Could u pls tell me why u pin the fabric ? u could better to iron it
+ismail hossain You pin the fabric to make sure the fabric does not move when stitching.
Question: do you sew or just iron that first fold that goes under the final hem fold?
Margaret Williams Hello, When making the first fold I just fold it. However, you could iron it if you wish.
Thanks!
Can this work on a Japanese hakama, I'm working to a fox demon cosplay and I don't want the hem stitch showing
It should work but the stitches do usually show a bit on the front. If you really don't want it to show, hand stitching is the way to go.
would i use this if i were making something reversible?
Thank you for watching this video. To answer your question, I would not use this blind hem stitch if I was making something reversible.
Loved the first half of the video. Instructions were great and your voice is very calming. The camera person on the other hand kept me from watching the entire video. Scratching noises and bad angles. Would love to see a re-shoot of this though. Thank you.
Oh that moment when you realize how exceptionally WRONG you have been executing a task. Thank you for this video. I am going to go home and fix my husband's pants that I now realize I messed up.

do we have to fold it that pic
oops i means big
I just dont get the folding back im confused
Well... I went to the basement and got a tape measure out of the toolbox, managed to fold, pin and iron the one foot of curtain I want to remove from a six foot wide panel. Now, before I can even start sewing anything, how do I manage to cut those nice straight lines to get the excess down to those few inches I need left to hem?
If you have a rotary cutter, ruler and mat, this would be the best way to cut it down. Otherwise, I would make a line on the fabric where you want to cut it with a long ruler and then carefully cut it on the line. You could also make the line by ironing a crease where the line would be. Happy Sewing!
@@Needlepointers I have come to realize that cut carefully and my name do not belong in the same sentence and that whe it comes to sewing in general, patience is a virtue...but I managed!
@@sunnyladner Glad to hear! Happy Sewing!
Wish I'd seen this before I read my Manuel. So easy to understand. The Manuel - rubbish!!!
I have found that it is always easier to learn something by seeing the process then to try to read how to do it in a manual. I am glad this video was helpful.
*manual
What if you dont have that foot
You could use a regular foot that accommodates a zigzag stitch but you will have too be very careful when stitching.
I did something wrong. LOL there was a sharp crease sewn into my hem stitch it wasn’t smooth with the single tiny stitches like hers. Idk what I did 🤷🏽♀️😭🤯
If you open it up, do you see the tiny stitches? If you can't open it, then you may have sewn the in between stitches on your hem. The catch stitch should be the only one that sews on the folded over fabric.
I can’t open it up. It’s all sewed up tight : no tiny stitches 😭.
Make sure that the one stitch that goes to the left is the only one that catches the folded over fabric.
This is so simple ... why is it so difficult in the instruction books ? 😩
I find the reading and understand instructions books and patterns can be very confusing. It is always easier when someone shows you how to do a technique.
Sorry, too dark, and can't see how you folded the material.
I'm sorry you could not see how the material was folded.
eee lumayan bagus,tapi yg paling jelas bagus jahitannya ya gue lah......,jadi jangan ngeso loh

Although, this is a good tutorial, the chalk board scratching noises will keep me from watching again!
Thank you!!
