Tutorial: Blind hem stitch on your sewing machine

When you need to hem trousers or a skirt and you don’t want the stitches to show, use a blind hem stitch. Beth from Sew DIY shows how you can make a blind hem on your sewing machine. It’s a cool trick that uses a fold at the hem to take just tiny stitches into the front of the fabric so they’re virtually invisible. You’ll need a blind hem foot to do this technique. Luckily, most machines come with this foot in their accessory boxes.
