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