You can hide that stitch along the hem of your project for a more professional look.
A blind hem stitch is sewn so it's nearly invisible from the right side of your fabric. As the name implies, it's most often used on garments, like skirts and home décor items, like curtains, giving everything a more professional finish. The stitch hides itself two ways. First, it's very short on the right side. And second, you use matching thread so it hides against the fabric.
It's not difficult to sew a blind hem on your sewing machine. You just need the right accessory.
Janome has several blind hem presser feet that make it easy to sew a blind hem. They all have a little metal flange, which you guide along the edge of your fold to make an even hem. The Adjustable Blind Hem Foot G has an adjustable flange so you can change the width of your machine's blind hem stitch.
To learn how to use this foot watch the video Adjustable Blind Hem Foot Video: Creating A Blind Hem. You'll see how you first sew the rough edge with a straight stitch. Then you put on the blind hem foot, fold your fabric to the desired hem width, and sew your blind hem.
The demonstration is on the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition but this foot fits all Janome sewing machines.
