If you made it this far, you're almost done sewing your t-shirt! 🎉 In this video, we are learning how to hem knit fabrics with a blind hem, aka an invisible hem. You can sew this hem on a regular sewing machine as long as it has the correct setting.
Blind hems are a little confusing but once you sew your first one it will all make sense. You have to use a special folding technique to make a blind hem. When done, all you will see on the right side of the fabric is a row of tiny threads tacking your fabric together. It's a stretchy and secure way to hem knits when you don't have a cover stitch machine!
