Blind Stitch; Shell Stitch - Singer CE-250 Manual De Instrucciones

BLIND STITCH

SETTINGS :Presser foot - Blind Hem Foot
:Thread tension control - S - E
- Regular blind stitch for normal fabrics
- Elastic blind stitch for soft, stretchable fabrics
1. First finish the raw edge. Do this by turning it under on fine
fabrics or overcasting it on medium to heavyweight fabrics.
Then turn the hem up the required depth, press and pin in
place.
2. Now fold the fabric as illustrated.
3. Place the fabric under the foot. Turn the handwheel counter
clockwise (toward you) by hand until the needle swings fully
to the left. It should just pierce the fold of the fabric. If it does
not, adjust the guide (B) on the Blindhem Foot (A) so that
the needle just pierces the fabric fold and the guide just rests
against the fold.
NOTE: For a narrower or wider blindhem, first
manually adjust the length and width controls to
your desired length and width. Then adjust the
guide on the foot.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric carefully along the edge
of the guide.
4. When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the
right side of the fabric.
NOTE: It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always
make a sewing test first.

SHELL STITCH

SETTINGS :Presser foot - Zigzag foot
:Thread tension control - S - E
Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right
side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the
folded edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim
away excess fabric close to the stitching line.
