Blind hems are used for trousers, formal skirts and some fashion items for a hem without a visible line of stitches.
Why do they cost more?
To shorten a garment and replicate a blind hem, there's some extra unpicking, measuring, over-edging, folding, pressing, pinning, and finally, stitching.
Happy to sort out your garments to fit you :-)
