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 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.
Oh wow! I am so pleased I found you! I have never been brave enough to attempt using this foot, as like the last comment, I could not fathom the instructions..... the folding part was worse and just this very second have practiced on scrap fabric and TaDa easy ..... you made it so simple to follow. So delighted 😀 thank you so much! Guess I can let my Dad know I can hem his trousers now! 🤣 Thank you so much.... shall subscribe! Kara from Scotland 🏴 xxx

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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!
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!

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 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.
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.

Wow, thanks!
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.
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.
Excellent video..I have seen many videos on blind hemming and this is one of the best !! best wishes , a man who sews Bill

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 😂😂

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.
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.
I've been sewing for 50 years (on and off) and have never seen this done. Thank you! So simple!!!!
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!

what are blind hems for?
Hi! Blind hems are used for hemming dress pants, skirts or dresses. It's a nearly invisible stitch so is very nice for this application. Happy Sewing!
Thank you💖
Excellent video...my manual made it seem like brain surgery. It's "sew" simple, thank you!!!

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.
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.
Thanks so much! Hours spent trying to understand my manual. Now I get it!!
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.
do we have to fold it that pic
oops i means big
I just dont get the folding back im confused
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.

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.
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
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!!
