Frequently Asked Questions

What is a blindstitch foot used for?

The Blindstitch Foot #5 is used to create invisible hems where the stitching is barely visible from the right side of the fabric. It's ideal for garment hems, curtains, tablecloths, and any project where you want a professional, undetectable finish.

Will this foot work with my BERNINA machine?

The Blindstitch Foot #5 is compatible with both 5.5 mm and 9 mm BERNINA machines. Check the compatibility list to confirm your specific model is included. If you're unsure, contact OSP Machines for free assistance in determining compatibility.

How does the guide blade work?

The special guide blade on this foot acts as a barrier that the stitch forms over, creating a slightly loose stitch that allows the hem to lie flat. The blade also ensures an even distance from the folded edge, resulting in consistent, neat hemming throughout your project.

Is this foot difficult to use for beginners?

While blind hemming takes some practice, the Blindstitch Foot #5 makes the process much easier with its built-in guide blade. Beginners can achieve professional results by following their machine manual's blind hem instructions and practicing on scrap fabric first.

What stitch should I use with this foot?

Use your BERNINA's blind hem stitch with this foot. The blind hem stitch takes several straight stitches along the fold, then one zigzag stitch that catches just a thread or two of the garment fabric, creating an invisible finish on the right side.
