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?

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.

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!

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.
