Hi and welcome to the course how to sew a blind hem. So you can use this technique to make the hem of your pants, skirts, dresses, or even sleeves. I do not recommend it on thick fabric like jeans However, because the theme won't hold. So you'll want to do this on rather formal attire like pen suits or skirt suits. For example, before anything else, make sure that your hem has the desired length. To know how to shorten hem.
Please watch the video How to shorten and so ahem in the machine work series. So first press the hem at the desired length using hot iron that you have set at inadequate temperature for your fabric. Now pin the hem to make sure it stays in place starting by the sides and working inwards. This will ensure that your themes are kept together You can now cut about 60 centimeters long after a thread of your choice. Then you can put the thread through the eye of the needle. This might be difficult at first, but you'll improve with time there is no magic way of doing this, you can only make sure that the thread is cut neatly.
If you really can get the thread through, try a needle with a bigger eye. So here we go. You'll want to use a single strand, a thread you folded after more or less 10 centimeters only. So for a blind theme, we always use singles trend. If we were to sew a button, we'd use a double trend to make it strong. But in this case, we don't want this team to show so we use a single strand.
Never forget that you don't have to waste hours trying to make a knot at the end of the Thread Nope, utterly useless and only makes you lose time and energy while sewing. Take care to keep a good hold on both parts of the thread or the shorter end my own thread. Looking at the inside of your garment, stick the needle directly through the fabric at a distance of about five millimeters from the hem right where the seam is on the garment. However, don't stick the needle in it, only stick it in the folded part of the hem. So keep about one centimeter of thread out. stick the needle back two or three times to make a solid not once the nut is done, stick the needle about five millimeters further along just on the hemp pen.
Taking only a few threads of the non hemp fabric to make sure that it does not show on the other side. So do this again about five millimeters further and repeat until you've done it all around the garment. You can remove the pins as you go. It is really important to use only a few threads of the fabric when you stick the needle in the garment so the stitch remains invisible. Once you're done again in the folded part of the hem, stick the needle back two or three times to make it not There you go, your seam is sealed shut. You can now cut up the exceeding threads.
