Description
The BERNINA Blind Stitch Snap-on Sole #5 is designed for sewists who want professional, nearly invisible hems on garments, drapery, and home décor projects. A built-in guide blade controls stitch formation and maintains a consistent distance from the folded fabric edge, so every blind hem comes out even and flat — whether you're hemming dress trousers or lined curtains.
Key Features
- Produces a blind hem that is virtually invisible from the right side of the fabric after pressing.
- A built-in guide blade acts as a stitch guide, forming a slightly loose stitch so the hem lies flat without puckering.
- The guide blade maintains a consistent, even distance from the folded fabric edge for uniform results across the entire hem.
- Needle-penetration points on the fabric face "close up" when pressed, making the seam nearly undetectable.
- Snap-on design attaches quickly and securely to BERNINA Snap-on Shank #78.
- Compatible with a wide range of BERNINA machines, including the B475QE and many classic models, when used with Snap-on Shank #78.
