I come back and watch this every time I need to do a blind hem (every couple of years 😂)… such a good tutorial, thanks!
I've watched 4 separate videos that all tried to explain a blind hem and this is the first one that made sense. Thank you for being so detailed!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm new to blind stitching. A couple of things you did really made it look easy. Your camera was close to the fabric so I could see everything you did. Also, you talked about which foot and stitch to use. I think this is the easiest video I have watched for blind stitching. Again, thank you for helping novices like me.
Thank you. This is the best tutorial on the blind stitch I have found on TH-cam. Bought a Singer 99 at an estate sale and decided I was going to clean it up and display it. Plus I thought why not use it when I have bigger sewing projects than just fixing a button. Now I'm hemming curtains and clothing. My wife is pleasantly amazed and happy. Again thank you for this tutorial. Cheers!
This is the easiest tutorial I've found! Thank you!
this has been by far, the most clear demo, for a blind hem!! thank you!
Best tutorial I have seen online and you made it so easy to understand. Glad you don’t do all that small talk. You get busy right away. Thank you!!
I looked at several videos for how to complete a blind hem - this was by far the most comprehensive and user-friendly. Thank you for walking through it step by step!
Your presentation skills are second to none. No waffle or talking about how wonderful you are, you just get on with it with very clear and simple instructions. Thank you and well done. My favourite kind of teacher.
Wonderful!! Thank you; your explanations and "film crew" are so clear!
Omg! Thank you! I shortened two pants for my sister for a trip she is going on to Dubai and she wanted to buy the iron on tape. I told her I’d learn to do it right and they came out perfect!
Oh I know this is an old video, but I was having a complete mental block when it came to folding for my blind hem. Thank you for this. It saved my sanity and my garment. The clearest blind hem tutorial on the internet.
Thank you. Most other videos on blind hems gloss over the set-up (not fully explained or shown). I often double fold my hems, so this was confusing. Thank you for showing this critical part of sewing a blind hem. Now I understand.
Thank you, for making it easy to learn. Been having the Foot and never used it until now. 👌🏾
Brilliant video, shows so clearly how to flip the hem and using contrasting thread enabled me to see how it was catching. Now have my trousers blind hemmed perfectly after the seam failed. Thanks. ❤
Best instructions on blind hem thank you
Wonderful: The best video ever watched on blind hem. You are a great teacher. Wherever you are, you will shine. Thanks so much for this exceptional tutorial. It's like you are a university professor. Great job.
I agree. I’m glad I watched this video
The best video she is fantastic she explained very clearly
OMG This video was FANTASTIC! For decades I have been simply intimidated by this blind hem stitch concept! I watched numerous videos... didn't get it! I GOT IT! with your video and LOVE this blind stitch hem foot, you made it so easy! Thank you so much!
THE best video on sewing a blind hem - thank you!
Same with all the other comments. All the other videos and instruction books don't explain well to someone who has never done it before, your video explains why it needs to be folded and how
This is the Best explanation of how to use a sewing machine for a blind hem that is out there in the u tube world. Very Good Mam , now I can go ahead a hem 5 pairs of pants , and use the new sewing machine I bought just for the very reason. The Men's Warehouse here in Central Florida. wanted 39.95 to hem a single pair of pants. which would of costed me close to 200 dollars. For that price , I've gone ahead and bought a new sewing machine and a sewing kit with all of the bells and whistles just to hem 5 pairs of pants, and i'm coming out with money to spare in doing so. Hell I may even start a little side business of doing Heming for people , charging only 8 to 10 dollar a pair. lol needless to say I sure as hell want let MENS WEARHOUSE do it.
I like how you showed us what to do and what not to do and how to fix our mistakes. The details were so helpful, including pressing with a cloth and which foot and stitch to use. Plus, I love your accent! Thank you for a wonderful tutorial!
I totally agree the best video I’ve ever seen definitely will subscribe thank you soo much. Norfolk UK
This video was excellent! Thank you so much for your very good, to the point videos!
Thank you so much! I am new to sewing and watched several videos on how to blind hem, disaster is putting it mildly, first try after seeing your video and I could not be prouder of myself! You are a gem and I truly appreciate you.
Wteched lots of tutorials but i wish found yours first. You make it very clear and mention every detail to save us making mistakes.thank you so much
Thank you so much!!! Your directions are clear and easy to understand! I appreciate that you also showed feet from other brands! Have a fabulous day! :)
This video is great! I've watched many vids on on how to blind stitch and this is the only one that explained clearly. Thank you
love your work Margaret - one of the better videos I have watched on the blind hem... because yours actually made sense to me....
I said the same thing. This tutorial was far more thorough. :)
As everyone else commented, a very thorough and useful video. You explained each step properly and clearly.
Thanks 🙏 ! Great teacher and wonderful tutorial!
my sister sent me your video as my attempts were frustrating me. Within 30 minutes, success you teach very well!! Thank you!
Great tutorial of hemming skills. Thank you
thank you girl, that's very helpful..
Thank you!!! I have watched several tutorials on blind hims and none have been clear. Your was perfect! Thank you for the do’s and DONT’S. *subscribed*
Adding to my comment: IT WORKED!!!! Thank you again 💕
There are so many how to videos, and nearly all are helpful. But your videos are by far the most professional finished products. I much prefer the overlocked edge as opposed to double folding. I’m very new to sewing, and my new machine has both the overlock and blind hem stitches and feet. This will be my method.
Thank you for the help!
Never used a machine to sew a blind hem. Just bought a new Pfaff machine and need to sew a really light material pair of black pants. This video was really helpful so will definitely be coming back for other videos.
I have this exact machine and have been searching for instructions on what the various stitches are used for and how to use them properly. I couldn’t believe that neither the supplied dvd and instruction booklet don’t include this information. Your tutorials are so helpful. Thank you very much.
Please what type of machine is it?
Best tutorial on blind hems. Thank you.
Thank you so much I just had to find another video to make sure I was doing it right and I was.I already did a pair of men pants and it came out good but I still want more practice.Thank you again Alice👍🏻😍
I'm a beginner and just bought my first Pfaff machine. This was a great video. Helped a lot
Great video. Your example was perfect. Thank you.
Enjoyed this a lot because you showed me how I normally screw up my stitch. Thanks for the tute.
Thank you for watching. Happy Sewing :)

The best video so far on blind hemming - 😊 thank you so much!
Just found you and I really like how you explain things, without rushing. I'm looking to start dressmaking again now I'm retired so a refresher is most helpful. Thank you.
And no distracting music!
Thank you. I watched other tutorials, but yours showed me exactly where i was going wrong, and how to fix it. I'm making curtains, so that would have been a lot of hand sewing. Thank you.
Wow this really helped me especially because of the view , the close up of the camera. I viewed a couple of videos on blind hem stitching and because of the view there was something I was just not getting. Thank you so much for the explanation and thanks to the camera man or woman lolll. Best video ,👍👍
Thank you for sharing! I have band uniforms to hem (jackets and pants), and this is the best video I found.
Thank you! I have a closet full of uniforms that have been sitting a little too low on my boots and I've been meaning to get them hemmed. I'm going to work on a pair this weekend and if I can get the first one done, I'll do the rest myself.
Thank you for such a good explanation.
this is exactly what i was looking for, i ran into the same problem you walked us through where the needle was picking up too much of the folded edge and showing on the right side of the dress. thank you!!!
Thank you for uploading this video. 🎉🎉
Fantastic video, very well done. Thank you
Excellent thankyou, been sewing for many years and my first attempt came out great thanks to your very clear instructions.
ayo miss!!! I was tried and tried to blind hem alot of videos did not show how u flip right before sewing or they used stuff like a towel, a curtain or even a piece of paper (yeah i know) ya video showed everything down to the stitch width. Thanks for posting!!@
That is a great tutorial. I’ve brought a new Juki Qvt1000 from you this year and your instructions are so much easier to follow than reading the instruction manual
At long last. Thankyou
You’re a legend. I just did blind hemming on trousers for the first time after trying for over 20 years
Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks ! Thankyou 🌺
Thank you so much for this video. I was about to give up when I found yours. My hem came out perfect! Thank you so much!
thanks, very easy to understand and see the work visually. I loved how you showed the different feet.
Thanks a ton Margaret! Just bought a Juki DX7 and thought I'd practise a few stitches before I go in for lessons without looking like a total idiot! I was delighted to see your video as I'm a "visual" person and grasp things better seeing, practising and feeling somewhat more confident than when I started. I'm looking forward to your tutorial videos😀
Thank you for the video and helpful hints. I need more practice to get the stitches to show less, so this was helpful. I have not done too many blind hems, but always helpful to know how to properly do them.
so please to have found your videos. I have started watching them all. I just wish you had an online sewing school as I would sign up asap!
Awesome tutorial!
Excellent video. Love the tip about removing the tray so I can rotate the cuff. Thank you!
Great video. Thanks so much.
Thank 😊you it was very easy to follow
Thank you. Very well explained. Best tutorial I’ve watched x
I wish you wrote the instructions for my sewing book. So easy to follow. Thank you.
Great tutorial 👍
I think in regards to blind hem leather is easier 😉
This is very helpful thanks
Excellent!
Thank you so much for sharing. I found this video the best. I will now do lots of blind stitch hems :)
Great demonstration and explanation! Thank you :)
Thank you so much!
Thank you for tutorial. Beautiful blouse!
Margaret you are amazing!

So helpful.
Another great one!
Hello- Why did you stop recording videos, it's a pity. I loved them, professional, calm without loud music😥😥😥😥😥😥😥💔
Thank you for your kind comment. We hope to get back to doing it again soon.
Very clear and helpful but the camera moves around a little too much.
I don't think you are serious. It's a shame you were only looking at moving camera. She is the best and her video is one of the best on TH-cam. You see negative in everything. Always look at the positive.
Thankyou
Супер!!! Спасибо большое.
This was most helpful! Thank you so much for your explanation! :-)
Hope you answer please :). You are the first one to show the first hem attachment. The one with the spring it it. I want to ask you how to use it since my machine came with it. The problem is that the hole from the attachment is not screwable so it doesn’t stay in place. The spring pushes it out. PLEASE answer.
I had NO IDEA I was not using my machine properly for over 40 YEARS!!!!
Interesting to see how easy it was to remove overlarge stitches too, as being new at this hem, a mistake I'm likely to make? I would have preferred to see it without the free arm though, as I don't have one on my Singer 201k, though it does have a blind foot which does 12 stitches in between catches. Wouldn't it be easier to put pins in after you've flipped the fabric so you could see them on top?
Your instruction is very very good and enjoyable to watch. But, the person handling your camera could have done a lot better. Some of the video was out of focus and that hurts the viewers eyes for sure.
Unfortunately, my basic machine only does straight st and zigzag st :( Would I be better off doing this by hand or is there a way I can still use my sewing machine?
❤
When you switched to hem the sleeves with cover stitch, don’t you have to put the cutter out of the way so it won’t trim off the material , (sorry I’m new to this and am still paranoid about doing
something wrong)
Do you recommend a blind hem foot on a circle skirt or a regular hemmer foot?
Hello can you tell me what to do if my machine doesn't have a minus setting and it is picking too much material up which shows large stitching on the right side of my garment.
I'm new to machine blind hemming, too. That said, you may want to consider an adjustable bind hemming foot. Instead of adjusting the machine, the foot is adjusted left or right, instead. I have both types, but am trying to learn on the one that came with my machine, rather than the adjustable version that came in a presser foot set.
Hope this helps.
success yahhhh ty
