Right stitch for taking up school trousers

[Lexilicious]

Started a thread in good housekeeping. Realised I needed pictures. Please excuse my incompetence!!

Can't really tell from picture could be the one by the button hole

Middle row 5th one in?

Have you still got the manual?

[LurkingCinners]

I use this webbed stuff. Fold over, iron, done. Getting the machine out for that would do my head in. Unless I had 10 pairs to take up.

[Lexilicious]

Yep, only got the machine last summer, definitely still have manual! The link you put on the other thread is brilliant thanks. Pinning and ironing... Yikes, I don't usually take so much care!

[AnyaKnowIt]

The manual will explain it, its usually called an invisible stitch or a blind hem stitch.

Good luck!

For me I always hem by hand the machine finish I don't like. Probably by the time you have worked out the machine it will be quicker.

Look for blind hem stitch, its easier with a blind hem foot but you can do it with any foot that allows a zig zag stitch.

is a good tutorial. I make my DD's uniform, and I use this one all the time.

And it's no 13 on your machine by the looks of it.
