The US 118 is a rugged, single‑needle, industrial long‑arm blind‑stitch hemming machine designed for clean, nearly invisible hems on garments, hats, drapery, and knits. Built by U.S. Blindstitch Machine Co. in the U.S., it uses a drop‑feed mechanism and single‑thread blind stitch (Type 103) to create fine hemming seams that “simulate hand stitching”
