I did a vid a few months ago about sewing a perfect rolled hem. • How to Sew a Rolled He... It didn't go over the several choices in sewing techniques that we have at our disposal to wrestle a tricky rolled hem into submission. This video covers those. Please comment down below if you have other tips and tricks!

Water soluble stabilizer: amzn.to/2CP9sCf -Now this is tricky. I just linked to a dissolvable stabilizer on Amazon, but like I said, I don't use this product, so I have no favorites here. There's also a variety of application styles among these products. Some are stick on, (may gum machine?) Some are sew on, (sew it to the edge in the first pass?) Experiment and tell me your favorite!

Thanks!! Did you see the Short I made responding to your lace eyelash question?
Thank you so much ! I consider myself not bad at all with rolled hem for having done it many times and still do., but I must admit that I'll try the technique that you first sew, cut and sew again. Yep !!! ❤️
I have watched a dozen videos so far about how to hem a circular (piece of) fabric and none was as good, as comprehensive, as helpful as yours! God bless you!
Thanks, I have a lot of organza to hem, this was a great video
Awesome! Thank you! You just save me because my rolled hem foot is the wrong size and I need this done today. Thank you!
Oh girl. Thank you so much for this video.
Absolutely an excellent video, showing exactly what to do, what not to do, and how to avoid/fix problems. Best how-to I've found! You achieved your goal of the best rolled hem video out there.
Thanks so much!!! ❤️
Thank you for sharing so much useful information. I have to hem my daughters bridesmaid dress, when I have never done anything like this before, and you have helped give me some confidence starting this project.
Very helpful, my go to hem is the two step. I pin the floor then without ironing I hem with the fabric folded a couple of cm lower than the pins. Then cut, fold and stitch the narrow rolled hem.
This works so well for me on the big ball gowns and really all formalwear.
I do exactly the same techniques every time leading to consistent super narrow hems
Most of the brides and prom girls I sew for want the hem sweeping the floor and this works well.
I find cutting the fabric first and folding as I sew difficult and time consuming.
So many fabrics fray easily and I get the best result with sew-cut-sew.
This method that you use is a very popular, accurate method! :)
Great video! And also your comprehensive rolled hem video. I've been sewing as long as I can remember. Doing a hand rolled hem on a little bandana for a granddaughter today. The only way to hem a circle is to go with the curve! I don't think I have ever heard anyone else mention using your left hand to keep tension on the material. I've kinda figured it out myself and will use both hands at times to keep the tension I want in the direction I want rather than just supporting or guiding the fabric. You just have to do what works!
LOL....loved the close out on this video...."you found it".....as she slaps the pearl...
Thanks so much lovely!!! Your sharing of the different techniques certainly makes me feel like I wasn’t using my iron to the best of its ability!!!!
Absolutely invaluable advice! Thanks
this is so helpful, thank you so much!! definitely gonna try it tomorrow on satin
Fantastic tips.
I do a two step rolled hem but i do it a little different. It begins at the fitting. I mark the hem at the floor then use that line of pins to turn up the hem the desired distance off the floor. I do this to each layer. It does take time but i make it up when sewing. I press the pinned up hem up then i use that pressed crease line to keep track of the length. I then without cutting it off machine stitch the first row which is not on the fold. I roll the fold slightly to the left and stitch close to the new fold. Then i trim it close like you do. With bigger scissors in the palm of my hand. It gets faster with practice. Then turn again on the pressed crease line and sew second row. I never worry its not correct . And you can get a very narrow rolled hem.
Yes!! I feel like I see this technique a lot!
Absolutely fabulous thanks
Dayum, your videos are so satisfying! Hehe, but can you do a full circle hem by using the first method which you mentioned it as one path. I practiced it for awhile but I could only managed to do 1/4 circle perfectly while the other parts fold got bigger as I tried to sew it..🤣
maya magar are you tugging, or pulling the fabric?
Sandra Newton hehe, rolling and pulling from both side as the machine sew.😰
I can do this to a full circle skirt, but I probably wouldn't start with that when learning. You may need to do a two-pass type of roll like I mention in this video.
Love the video, I love all your videos. Will try this soon. Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials.
This is amazing!!! So helpful!!
Great tips thank you . Also where can i get the invisible presser foot? Thanks,❤❤❤❤❤
i had to make my prom dress in 2018 in the span of two weeks and the photos looked great but once you looked under the tulle and saw the lining of the satin skirt.... oh man what an utter DISASTER. this has definitely helped me learn why it looked so bad tho and what I can do to fix it!! so thank you so much this was so incredibly informative!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate it
I like the wash-away stablizer.
my favorite sewing channel!! Thank you so much!
Thk u!!! Please share about me on social media & forums! It helps soooo much.
This was soo helpful! Thankful for this.
I loved your other video... SO glad I found this one, too!
Thank you for watching! Here's a link to see all of them. ua-cam.com/users/BridalSewingTechniques
@@BridalSewing thank you! My mom is a seamstress and quilter, but I haven't sewn in 10 years. She's usually sleeping when I'm sewing and I'm currently stuck on transitioning around a 90° corner, going from a straight edge to a curved edge. 😅 I love how thorough your videos are, you end up answering every question I have. ❤
Superb! Many thanks!
Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. 👌
Thank you for watching
Excellent.
very helpful! i'm surprised you didn't use a rolled hem foot.
I hate them. Lol
Thank you!
Using banrol is the easiest method I’ve seen yet
Great tips thanks
YOU ARE DIVINE! Thank you lovey!!! You killed me with the muffin 😂🙃👌🏼
Lol. Def not divine! But, I do love to help and share. I also can't help but be a little quirky! 🤣😂
that was super super helpful, thank you!
How would you roll a hem that's perpendicular to those two rolled hems on the strips? Would you do it the same way?
Love your Videos! Thank you!
Great video, thank you. I commented yesterday about trying to raise the tulle/lace to make an empire waist. I wanted to see if you replied, but I am not sure which video it was on! I watched a bunch of them!
No prob. It was on "How to Hem a lace Wedding Gown." :)
I have watched so many in the last week or so since I discovered you that I lost track!
I was wondering if you can let me know, where can i get the presser foot you have , what is the name of that foot thank you.❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning I like to know what seeing machin do you use I know is a juky but I like to know what model I do alterations I have a table mashing I’m going for my professional machine but they are so many I wonder if you can share whit me that info thank you I love your videos very helpful thank you 😊
Yes, just search "@bridalsewing juki" and my videos about my machine will come up.
THANKYOU FOR THIS VIDEO, AWESOME!
Thank you for watching! :)
I think this was a great tutorial. Thank you. Once I saw someone in a video using what looked a lot like a loosely woven hair canvas only an inch or so wide. They removed the sharp threads a little way and used it to stitch over much like horsehair braid stitching first through the threads flat then double turning it and stitching again. Then they pulled it out and frankly the hem looked gorgeous. Do you know what this stuff is and have you ever tried it?
I think the ban roll might be it. I just wonder if it works as well as it looked like it did.
I have seen that. I thought it was buckram? To me, it seems unsustainable for regular use in a full time shop, though. But, you may love it! :)
@@BridalSewing I must agree- a bit labor intensive. However on a really tough wedding gown I might use it anyway.
Right!
I've been using the band roll method now for a few months. I love it I've got to hem in a wedding dress down to 15 minutes.. it can get a little messy but they can be reused over and over again
Great video.
Do you use different rolled hem presser feet? Mine looks very different. Is the foot you're using work better ? I'm very new to all of this. Thank you 😊
Definitely watch my whole playlist I go into great detail about the presser feet that I use. I *personally do not like the rolled hem feet.
@@BridalSewing thank you 😊
Awesome 👍👍👍
Are you using a zipper foot? (I have tried both hemmer foot and regular foot have had only mediocre results. Working on a bias...😫) Your work is so nice! Thanks.
Yes, an invisible zipper foot. Thanks for watching!
Yes it did Help!!!
Thank you so much
Can I use the water soluble on chiffon?
Hey💫are you able to tell me which presser foot you are using?
amzn.to/3MOWszc or often... amzn.to/423Itdt
wow very patient with using sewing machine
It depends on the fabric. I find it easier on thick satin like duchess.
Thank you 👏🏽
Hey, BST Besties! Do any of you ever use the dissolvable stabilizing? I saw this done many years ago and really don't use the technique. I linked to some type of product above, but honestly don't have a favorite. What is your favorite dissovable stabilizer, and how do you like to apply it, sew it, and dissolve it? Of course, if we can't find the exact wash a way product, when using this on, say, an ivory satin, you can always use a thin strip of iron on permanent light interfacing and leave it in the rolled hem. Again, this is just for worst case scenario.
I dont know the name of it because the pkg always gets tossed. But its see thru. I never use it for bridal. I always use it for suit sleeves. But it completely dissolves and you dont have to wash it. It might me Dritz but stitch witchery type stuff not stabilizer 😜
@@iheartbridalcouture5989 so it is a tape on a roll like stitch witchery, yet it dissolves in water? And does it have two parts like a wax paper layer you peel off after pressing, or do you press it like the interfacing, or is it sew-on? I hope we can find it.
@@BridalSewing Its on a roll and it dissolves with iron heat. But you wouldn't want to leave any part of it exposed because if you do it gunks up like cement glue does when you roll it off. I'll see if i can find it 😬
Its Dritz Fusible Bonding Web. Theres even a video showing how to use it lol. They say its for lightweight materials but I've used it on pants and suits a lot
@@iheartbridalcouture5989 oh, I don't think that what I'm looking for. The product I am looking for is like what you iron onto the backside of a shirt before you embroider it. Then you wash it and it dissolves. I hope I haven't started a wild goose chase! lol
Hi, I just wanted to say that I love your video tutorials! I thought I knew almost everything but yet I’ve learned a few things. Thank you. I wanted to ask if you ever use rolled hem foot for rolling that tiny edge? This is all I use and almost never get those stubborn places. What is your experience with those
Hello! My first rolled hem vid that I linked to goes into that. I hate those things. Lol! They don't work for me! I really wish they did.
Bridal Sewing Techniques that’s what I find from quite a few professional sewers, and very often it depends on a quality of a foot but I love how fast I can have the job done. I will check out your other video. Thanks for your reply
I really wish I could master it! :)
Omg. I just bought 3 rolled hem presser foots
I am making fabric napkins.
I did one side perfectly. First try.
Then each attempt after that nothing but problems!! I’m disappointed.
Plus the width was not as promised.
I hate rolled hem presser feet! Did you watch my first vid? I go into greater detail about it in that one.
IM A NEW AT SEWING, SO WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT KIND OF FOOT IS BEING USED HERE? THANK YOU!
It is an invisible zipper foot for a commercial machine. Welcome aboard! :)
Again...…....I loved it. You rock!
There you are! I tried texting you today. Are you doing well?
Help!!! I have the stretchy knit hem. To p thread looks great. Bobbin. 😵💫it is a loopy hot mess. Used knit , Jersey, stretch, and ball point needle. Tightened and loosened bobo and tension. Not sure what else to do.
Sometimes you have to try different brands of thread too. I know, It's maddening
@@BridalSewing thank uou
where could I get the little blue snippers with the loop handle you have sitting on your sewing machine? Thank you.
I have a products page on my website:
Www.bridalsewingtechniques.com They are listed on there. :)
Can you please tell me what is the name of that kind of iron you use. I see it in the dry cleaners but I don't know the name and where I can looking for. Thank you!.
ua-cam.com/video/ahEmEeS9Zvw/v-deo.html
Can you plz make a video of how to do roll hem on sides seams...thanks
I don't know what your asking for. Do you mean French seams? I do have a video on that. Hems are usually on the bottoms, not on the sides.
That was very nice. I use the same techniques, especially on satin type fabric, except for the last one with the interfacing. I'm just wondering if you ever use the narrow roll hem foot?
Oh, I go into that in my first rolled hem video! :)
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH !
For the first time in my life I see such scissors. What specific function that it is called applique scissors?
ua-cam.com/video/S0tyZV5wUF8/v-deo.html Here are two videos :) ua-cam.com/users/shorts2sWZuzJEHMw?feature=share
How do you go over the seams?
What thread do you use with the tiny needle, i cant get it to thread with my automatic threader on my machine
Gutermann mara 100. I link to it on the products page of my website. :)
LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS!!! but its hard to see what you're doing when you put a grey filter or filters on it.
I have never used a gray filter. I def never put gray "over" the video??
Sometimes I will do a segment that is black and white, (color removed) and the contrast and sharpness is boosted while the shot is zoomed in, (magnified.)
I am *very often* thanked for the clarity/detail boost that is given during those segments. This is my first and only complaint regarding this, so I def can't disappoint so many by no longer doing high contrast shots. Sorry! :) Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment?
@@BridalSewing OMG!! thanks so much for the quick reply. Yes thats what i mean.. the black and white (high contrast). I guess I'm the only one who finds more clarity and details in the color version. I find the black and white makes the areas where the light shines too bright and i cant see the detail. Sorry. I don't mean to be difficult. It's probably just my eyes. xoxox
No, I really get it! I actually personally see a lot of detail in full color as well. But it is true, everyone's eyes are different. It's been very interesting trying to teach to such a wide variety of people! That's why I try to change it up. That's the only way, really. Thank you for feedback, though. That's the only way over time to know if there's a pattern of trouble. ;)
What foot are u using please
A narrow l/r invisible zipper foot.
Have you tried the ban-rol technique? Some swear by it.
I'll have to look that up. Is that where they use the heavy buckram that has a few rows removed, so it is like teeth along the long edge and they sewn that in as a guide and then slip it out?
Yes but I don't think it's buckram though. I could be wrong.
Haha we could all be wrong and all be right! Lol that's the amazing thing about sewing. There's a thousand different roads that lead to a beautiful ending.
How would you wash that out and not leave a line. Oh I'd never bother.
I have a question that isn’t related to rolled hem, I hope it’s ok. I need to take in the sides of a bridesmaid gown and I cannot access the inside - there is no opening between the layers to get inside. I’ve never had this before. Should I just open it from the top?
There are a few different ways, (as usual!) 🤣 You can use the top if you like.
Sometimes the waist lining seam is turned under and hand stitched. You can open there.
Some seamsters open the lining's side seam & then hand sew that closed after.
Bridal Sewing Techniques Thank you! I’m not sure why this tripped me up, I’ve done plenty of advanced alterations. I just have always done THIS one way since it was always accessible through the opening that was provided LOL! I guess there’s a first time for everything! I appreciate it, and as always, thank you for sharing your talent! I look so forward to your videos!
P.S, I do doll clothes
Wide rolled hens make for some terrible puckering in my experience
Uhhhh no one gave me a muffin 😭
Oh, man!! 😱🤦♀️
You're doing way too much turning and turning to make a rolled hem. A rolled hem foot is quicker and easier.
This channel is all about people finding the way that works best for them.
Thank you !
