There is a sliding guide screw on the blind hem foot that
allows you to precisely control where the needle pierces
the edge of the fabric fold. Adjust the screw so that at the
leftmost position of the stitch, the needle just pierces the
edge of the fold. If the needle pierces too far left, the
stitches will show on the right side of the fabric. Lower the
presser foot. Sew, guiding the folded edge along the guide
_7_in the foot. As you sew, the right side of the stitch
forms a chain stitch to the right of the fabric fold.
