Start it thesame way as the slanting hemmingstitch. Insert the needle into the material asclose to where you brought the threadthrough as possible, bringing the needleup in a slanting position under the hemand bringing it out through the foldof the hem elose to the edge. (111. 142.)This is the stitch that is preferred bytailors for felling linings in coats, etc.,for the stitches show less than in theslanting stitch. BLIND HEMMING is used when an >invisible sewing is required to holdhems or facings on silk or wool. It isdone more quickly than slip-stitchingand is just as invisible on the right side iof the garment. Only take up part ofthe thread in the material anrl insertthe needle in a fold of the hem usinga rather long slanting stitch between thestitches. (:5.) It is not a strong sewing. 143. Blind Heninii
