Sewing Visible Hems

The visible hem is especially suitable for elastic hems in tricot fabric made of cotton, wool, synthetics and blended fibers.

We recommend using the Lycra stitch or triple zigzag as a visible hem stitch for elastic fabrics.

We recommend using the universal stitch or triple straight stitch as a visible hem for non-elastic fabrics.

  1. Fit the zigzag foot or upper feed foot.
  2. Set the stitch pattern selector knob to the required stitch.
  3. Adjust the stitch length according to the stitch table.
  4. If required, adjust the presser foot pressure.
  5. Iron the hem and baste if necessary.
  6. Sew the hem at the required depth on the right side.
  7. Cut off the remaining fabric on the wrong side.
