Amazon.com Review
Weighing less than 10 pounds, this portable machine quickly hems pants, skirts, drapes, and linens with professional-quality blind (invisible) stitches. It threads easily with one spool of thread and uses a standard sewing-machine needle. There's a stitch depth and length adjustment, a skip-stitch feature, and adjustable thread tension. An electronic foot pedal provides smooth speed control, and a slender free arm and a sewing light contribute to the machine's ease for both accomplished and novice sewers. The machine uses either a standard spool or cone. It has a built-in carrying handle and comes with a step-by-step instruction manual. The Blind Hemmer carries warranties against defects: 25 years on the case, 10 years on mechanical parts, and 5 years on electrical parts. There's also a one-year labor warranty. --Fred Brack

28 of 28 people found the following review helpful:  Blind Hemmer, How can you sew without it!, By A Customer This review is from: Simplicity BH600 The Blind Hemmer (Kitchen) I have really enjoyed using my blind hemmer. It is very smooth, easy to operate. The learning curve is very minimal because it has one single function and that is to hem. You can hem a garment in no time flat. It is much better than the blind hem feature on most sewing machines. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful: Thumbs up!, By This review is from: Simplicity BH600 The Blind Hemmer (Kitchen) I rate this machine very highly for what it is -- a light-use home blind hemming machine. It's not an industrial model meant to do miles of blind hems -- it's meant to be used hemming a few pairs of pants at a time. Given that, it works wonderfully.
One "knock" against this machine is that it uses a straight needle rather than a curved needle. The people who stress this knock tend to be those who own a curved needle machine! I don't see this as a minus -- it means I can share needles with regular sewing machines instead of laying in a stock of curved ones. Since the needle's straight, the BH-600 forces a slight "hump" in the fabric's hemline when you lock the machine in place ready to hem. Some feel this is a disadvantage -- I haven't found this to be the case. If you'd like to see some pictures of this machine in action, I have a photo-diary at [...] By the way, this machine is identical to the Babylock BL-101 -- they're the same machine. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful:  BH600 needs a better manual, By ARO (Bethany Beach) - See all my reviews This review is from: Simplicity BH600 The Blind Hemmer (Kitchen) I would agree that the Simplicity BH600 does not take a long time to learn to use, but a better manual would really help. The instructions for threading are good, but not for other operational details. There are 3 knobs which can be adjusted to accommodate different fabrics, stitch length, depth, and thread tension. The manual tells you that much. However, it doesn't tell you what those things mean nor what the numbers mean or when you should turn the knobs which way.
Take stitch length, for instance. On my old Singer machine stitch length meant the number of stitches per inch, and measured the distance the feed dogs moved the fabric per stitch. Higher numbers meant smaller stitches. On my Janome, stitch length refers to the number of millimeters the fabric moves per stitch the needle makes. Smaller numbers mean smaller stitches. I have no clue what the "stitch length" means on the BH600 or what is measured. The total information given is "Variable stitch length...Read more |
