How to use a blind hemmer machine?

Blind hemming is an essential technique in the garment industry, especially when it comes to creating a neat and clean finish on fabrics. While blind hemming by hand can be a tedious and time-consuming task, a blind hemmer machine, also known as a blindstitch sewing machine, can save time and effort, which is a specialized machine that creates nearly invisible hemlines on fabrics. These machines are designed to create hemlines that are difficult to see from the outside of the garment, providing a clean and finished look. The machine uses a curved needle to catch the fabric from underneath and create a loop on the top layer of the fabric. The needle then passes through the bottom layer of the fabric, creating a zigzag stitch that is nearly invisible on the top layer.

Using it can save you time and effort when compared to hemming by hand. Here are the steps you need to follow to use it:

Step 1: Choose the right thread and needle

Choosing the right thread and needle is essential for getting the best results. Use a thread color that matches the fabric as closely as possible. A size 10 to 14 needle works well for light to medium-weight fabrics, while a size 14 to 16 needle is suitable for heavier fabrics.

Step 2: Set up the machine

Set up the machine on a sturdy surface and ensure that it is plugged in and turned on. Place the fabric on the machine, aligning the edge of the fabric with the guide on the machine's needle plate.

Step 3: Adjust the machine's settings

Adjust the machine's tension and stitch length settings based on the type of fabric and thread you are using. A higher tension setting works well for heavier fabrics, while a lower tension setting is suitable for lighter fabrics. A shorter stitch length creates a more secure hemline, while a longer stitch length is suitable for lighter fabrics.

Step 4: Start sewing

Slowly begin sewing along the edge of the fabric, ensuring that the needle catches the fabric from underneath to create the loop on the top layer. The machine's feed dogs should smoothly move the fabric through the machine, creating a zigzag stitch on the bottom layer that is nearly invisible on the top layer.

Step 5: Finish the hemline

Once you have sewn the entire length of the fabric, fold it over to create the hemline. Use an iron to press the hemline, ensuring that it stays in place. Finally, trim any excess threads and enjoy your professionally finished hemline.

Here are some additional tips:

◆Practice scraps of fabric before working on a project to get a feel for the machine's settings.

◆Use a fabric with a smooth texture, such as cotton or linen, for the best results.

◆Make sure to align the edge of the fabric with the guide on the machine's needle plate to ensure a straight hemline.

◆Adjust the machine's settings based on the type of fabric and thread you are using.

◆Take your time and sew slowly to avoid making mistakes.

A blind hemmer machine is an essential tool in the garment industry, enabling you to create nearly invisible hemlines on fabrics quickly and efficiently.
