Blindstitch Sewing Machines
What is a blindstitch sewing machine?
What exactly is a blindstitch sewing machine, and is this its only function?
It’s a single thread machine (no bobbin) with a curved needle – you sew with the inside up, and it will make a very tiny stitch that is almost “invisible” from the outside. It makes a chain stitch that has to be tied off, otherwise you can pull out the entire hem in 2 seconds if you need to redo it.
It’s particularly useful in situations where the hems may be adjusted for multiple wearers (theatre productions, costume & tux rentals, etc.) – and also for mass production.
The process can be somewhat duplicated on a domestic machine with the zig-zag type feature – it involves folding the fabric over and having the “zag” pick up a very narrow margin to produce an “invisible” stitch on the outside. This stitch, however, cannot be as easily removed.
A good seamstress can adjust the stitch so that even black thread won’t show through on a white hem.
