I use the blind hem stitch on my machine. I then decrease the bite on it to be much smaller. I like how fine it looks. To me it is a cross between a blanket stitch and a straight stitch. I learned it from Pam Clarke at Log Cabin Goods when it was open.
I am sorry,but which is the blind hem stitch,can you post a close up picture of your block.I have tried all the fancy buttons and made the zigzag smaller,but that is not quit right either.I have a janome,but use basicly for straight stitches
it should look something like this on the machine graphics
