I have a singer 403 a that uses cams and I am wondering if this is a blind hem stitch or a blanket stitch. I am needing a blanket stitch for applique and if you look at the finer stitching it still leaves a < shape in the zag part. So thinking that I have the wrong cam. I also posted the stitch in wide length so that may help in your determination.

Thanks for your help!

Oh duh! Pictures would be good!

double post, sorry!

I think it's a blind hem stitch. A blanket stitch would be straight in and out rather than a zig over and zag back.

I agree!

yep, that is a blind hem stitch. :D:D:D

Looks like a blind hem to me.

That is a bling hem, but if your machine doen't have a blanket stitch you can use it at the narrow stitching and the result will be almost the same.

yes

Definitely blind hem.

Agreed it is the blind hem stitch.

Your photos show a blind hem. Look for a ladder stitch... or the reverse of a ladder stitch to achieve a machine blanket stitch. :mrgreen:

I guess I don't have a blanket stitch, this is the stitch I use for applique. I have another stitch like this except the > goes to the right.

blind hem.

if it's close enough, it would still work for applique. just set it to a lower number.
