Power stand blindstitch hemmers are best for a combination of apparel and drapery. Portable blind stitch hemmers are suitable for light to medium weight apparel fabrics, because the stitch penetration dial only has one revolution of adjustment, not enough for lowering of the needle into heavier weight drapery fabrics or blackout lining. Blindhemmers are not suitable for harder upholstery fabrics which cause too much needle deflection which can damage needles, looper, skip stitches, or break thread.
"Unfortunately, none of the portable blind hemmers is recommended for doing draperies of any kind. The reason for this is that there is not enough room in the mouth (arm space between needle and neck) of the machine to allow for the wide hem of drapery (usually 4" - 4-1/2"). The maximum hem on a portable is about 2-1/2". For drapery applications, the best machine would be a true industrial type blind hemmer, like our MSK-755 (CHINA). The mouth, or opening has about 8" of space, for any variety of hems. We have sold hundreds of the 7100SB which replaced MSK-755 for drapery and other hemming applications (like clothing), and it is the one I would recommend for drapery. I hope that helps." Robert Kahn, Reliable Corporation."
(Q) What type thread is used with this machine? Would thinner serger thread be ok? (A) Yes, MaxiLock single strand polyester serger thread is fine. You can also use 100% nylon thread if it has some texture, as opposed to clear nylon (like fishline) which is more abrasive to metal parts. John
(A)Janie, we couldn't find a very good image of an industrial machine curved-needle blindhem stitch online. It is a chainstitch with serger type stitch covering the hem/fold on the inside, and very little if any of the stitch or pull showing through on the right side. Most of the thread shows on the inside hem with very little showing on the outside. It is supposed to be invisible on the outside which is very difficult to do on very lightweight fabrics, unless you use the same color thread as the garment fabric. So the two sides are not supposed to look the same, like a zigzag stitch would on a sewing machine. We recommend portable blindstitch machines for garments, and power stand models for drapery or for faster speed on garments. Hope this information helps. John
(Q)How do I increase/decrease the stitch length? The manual says to turn a part with #4,5,6 on it but I can't find any such cam/part/wheel.
(A)Remove the left cover of the blindstitch machine with the two thumb/screws, on left side and back. Use an allen wrench to move the graduated numerical cam from it existing setting on 4, 5, or 6mm setting, to any other stitch length setting then test.
It is much easier to use the 2:1 skip stitch lever on the right side of the machine to change from 1:1 (every stitch) for garment fabric, to 2:1 (every other stitch) for interior fabrics, which doubles the stitch length.
(Q?)When I pull the stitching out, several stitches unravel along with it. Is there a way to tack the stitches to prevent unraveling?
(A)Jenna, there are several ways of securing a blind hem stitch at the end of a seam. The easiest way is to sew over and beyond the end of a seam, especially if hemming a tubular item like pants. When you sew over previous stitching it helps to lock the stitches in.
Before you remove fabric from the end of the machine feeder, turn the hand wheel clockwise to swing the needle all the way to the left position in the needle channel which will help secure the thread and stitch in place. Then quickly pull or jerk the fabric hem from behind the feeder which will break the thread and tie off the chain stitch so that it will not continue to unravel. It takes some practice because you may have to use the knee lever or hand wheel to position or release the fabric if it is not already at the end of the feeder.
You can also turn the hand wheel counterclockwise at the end of the seam (like reverse stitching but no formation) just to hide the end stitches, or you can manually weave the unraveled thread back into the chainstitch with a seaming needle.
Blind Hemmer Ending Stitch Techniques I show how I now end my blind hemmer stitches. In the past I always used the old technique of raising the needle to its' highest position and releasing the pressure foot and jerking the fabric back quickly to break the thread. This led to size 10 needles skipping stitches sooner than I thought they should. I contacted the mfg of my machine and they told me to use the technique I show in this video. Since I've gone to it my #10 needles are lasting much longer. :) The machine shown is an Industrial Consew made in Japan back in the 1970s. Kevin Sews Published on Jul 2, 2014

Video Only Shows US Blind Stitch 718 running, no sound
Blind Hemmer Ending Stitch Techniques I show how I now end my blind hemmer stitches. In the past I always used the old technique of raising the needle to its' highest position and releasing the pressure foot and jerking the fabric back quickly to break the thread. This led to size 10 needles skipping stitches sooner than I thought they should. I contacted the mfg of my machine and they told me to use the technique I show in this video. Since I've gone to it my #10 needles are lasting much longer. :) The machine shown is an Industrial Consew made in Japan back in the 1970s. Kevin Sews Published on Jul 2, 2014

Preventive Maintenance, General recommendation. Always use service manual where available.
The proper maintenance of an Industrial sewing machine is important for several reasons. A. It will increase the overall life of the sewing machine. B. It will keep the sewing machine running at its maximum performance rate. C. It will maintain the integrity of the stitch which guarantees the quality of the product that is being sewn. D. Last but not least it will keep the operator happy. And we all know what that means.
1. Oil all bushings in the casting of the machine. Usually by means of an access hole. If the machine is relying on a wicking system all of the wicks need to be inspected and placed in the proper position to maintain oil flow. Also check the oil level if reservoirs are present.
2. Keep machines clean of material particles which can act as an abrasive to machine parts. Blow out machine and spray clean parts with WD-40 or similar product. Note: WD-40 does not take the place of oil but will keep the machine clean and rust free. Always oil machines after cleaning and take care to use a minimal amount. Usually one drop of oil is needed in each hole per 8 hrs of sewing time. It is further recommended that manual machines need one drop of oil to the hook assembly after each bobbin change. For machines with an automatic or enclosed oiling system, the oil pump, screen and hoses should be inspected monthly to be sure proper lubrication is taking place.
3. Maintenance related to the sewing machine motor or stand. Check motor belt tension, clean pulleys of any thread or debris that may be found in belt guards. Clean motor and or motor filter that allow motors to breath properly. Check for loose wires and or connections that can cause shorts or electrical shock including lights.
4. Maintenance that will ensure proper stitch formation and machine performance. Check adjustment on take up spring. Clean residue from tension disk. Inspect thread guides, screws etc. for burrs. Replace needle per 8 hrs of actual sew time or routinely at the beginning of the week. The cost of a needle is not worth the problems that occur when a needle is defective. Check feed dog and or throat plate hole for burrs. Take off feed dog and sand the bottom part of the hole. Check the middle foot on a walking foot machine to be sure no burrs or on the bottom side of the hole. Also adjust bobbin case basket opener and inspect throat plate. No sharp points should be on the throat plate where the basket tab goes into the throat that keeps the bobbin case in its standard position for sewing.
5. These adjustments and inspections should be done by a qualified technician about every 3 to 6 months. However the operator should be responsible for the oiling and cleaning that is to be done on a daily basis. It is important that a check list be made for the operator so she fully understands the proper procedure for checking and oiling the machines.
Note: by no means is this a comprehensive guide to maintaining all sewing machines but it is a good start to understanding and making a beginning of a reliable sewing machine preventive maintenance program.

A needle system is a group of needles made to fit specific sewing machines. All needles in a system are of the same length and shank size, but are of various diameters. Lower size numbers are narrower or thinner needles used for lighter materials. Higher size numbers indicate a needle of thicker diameter, used for heavier materials. Match your needle system to your machine, then the size of the needle to the product you are sewing.
