    This was exactly what I needed! My son is still growing so putting a cuff on his dress pants means I can I cuff them and even let the hem out as he gets even taller!

    This is such a great video, thank you very much! How do you handle the hem if there is any taper in the trouser leg? I can't get my head around how to angle the hem to enable the cuff to lie flat. Any advice gratefully received :)

      @@gracie45 Thank you ! I found this video too, but from memory I don't think it's the same construction as a turn-up. However, I just had some turn ups to do on tapered trousers and found that it's exactly the same method as for taking up any tapered trousers. Nothing complicated or special at all!

    Great tutorial. Thank you so much. It’s my first time doing this. I do have one question. Since you’re only tacking down the two side seems, what keeps the front and back cuffs from flopping down. I am working on a pair of dress pants that are not wool so they don’t stay very well.

  • @FreshLimeSquirts

    Could you do a video on how to put a very wide cuff on a pair of bell-bottom shaped women’s pants? Kind of trendy now but the last step, stitch in a ditch wouldn’t be enough to hold up a very wide cuff. Thanks in advance! Love the tutorials!

  • @miggy.a

    Excellent tutorial as always. I just tried this with some high twist dress pants and after doing the straight stitch my fabric wasn’t lining up. It was lined up when I pinned it but after the straight stitch it seemed to be puckering. Any idea why?

    This works great when the pant leg opening is not tapered. What is the solution when there is a slight taper and now you have some bunching at the cuff?

    • @maryhammond6959
      @maryhammond6959 Рік тому

    Hi, Im am brand new to this, when you are done with a stitch, I dont see you use scissors. Does the sewing machine cut your thread automatically when your done???

    • @beatermatrix5923
      @beatermatrix5923 8 місяців тому

      Yes, it's okay too, even 2 inch cuff is great and many elegant man (idk if you're a man or woman) strive for 2 inch cuff as it looks very proportionate and stylish. So long story short, don't know worry and experiment :)

    You are excellent at what you do. I’ve used two seamstresses in Az, both were hacks.
    I have that same bobbin winder, blink and it’s done. It’s so much better than the one on my machine, and it’s a 1541s.
