I think I've watched a half dozen of the "How To" videos on using the rolled hem foot and this is the ONLY one that not only solved the getting started problem for me, but also how to prevent the wavy edge that often results. Thank you!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Viking would put these lovely details on the back of the product's package? Bless you for the lovely tutorial on how to get started! ~ Lynda
I've been sitting with my sewing machine for the past hour trying to use my hemmer foot for the first time via the instructions in the manual, and I have to say - your method is a million times easier to get the roll started!
You do a great tutorial. Very clear and easy to understand. I'm not afraid of my rolled hem foot anymore, thanks to your video! I look forward to more tutorials from you! Awesome job!
Thanks for the tip regarding curved seams! I have just purchased one of these feet to hem my daughter's circle skirts. I'm so glad that the technique is as simple as doing an extra row of stitches!
I am glad I chose your tutorial it was very easy to follow and well done. Thank you very much. It is so nice to be able to learn new techniques without having to search for a class or instructor since I do not have time for that. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you.
I found your video through a blog post via Pinterest and I am so very glad I did! I create doll clothes and would love to add a more finished look to the hems! I had a Rolled Hem foot, but had no idea how to use it! I do now, thanks to your video!
wow Im glad I was just looking at sewing channels cause I came along to your channel I have not seen anyone explain the rolled hem the way you just did thank you for sharing this
That's fantastic news! We recently joined Pinterest, and are happy to see more people discovering our videos that way. All the best with your projects!
I truly appreciate the instruction and especially the tip to sew a straight seam close to the edge before hemming in order to avoid a "lettuce" edge. Using the rolled-hem presser foot for the first time, I was able to hem a large rectangular tablecloth that I had cut into an oval shape. It came out surprisingly well, and I am very pleased with the result.
After all these years I've been sewing, and with all the sewing feet I have; this is one foot I really had no clue as to its purpose. I am so glad to have found this video, what an awesome little foot this is! I've always struggled the uniform hems, and with this new (new to me anyway) technique, I can add a much more crisp finish to my pieces. Thanks so much!!
This is one of the few things my mother couldn't teach me how to do when she was teaching me how to sew! Thank you so much...now I know how to use the various rolled hem feet I have for my machine :)
THANK YOU! It has been a very long time since I used this foot, and I couldn't remember exactly the steps. This is just the information I was looking for today.
Whoa! This is so cool, I had no idea! Your videos are wonderful, I wish I lived near your store. I would like to see you answer the questions posted here.
Hah!! Thank you so MUCH! This is the perfect video I was hoping to find. I've been folding/sewing hems by hand ever since I first learned how to machine-sew 26 years ago, and finally (Finally!) got one of these hemming attachments. Thank you for the detailed narrative and video shots. Very well done.
THank you LOVE this machine...I made 14 flags for my daughters flag team....Sure wish I would have found this first and or looked at the other arms that came with my emarald 118 . I am just learning!!! fun
Also! Use the 5mm rolled hemmer. If the hem is curved, sew a straight stitch in a 2mm stitch length very close to the raw edge of the fabric before using your rolled hem foot. This will prevent the fabric from stretching in the foot as you go around the bias.
I just watched your video and it was so helpful! One thing I did figure out is make sure the needle position is to the right. I have a Brother CS600i and I had the needle to the left and it wouldn't sew. Light bulb moment....move it to the right and it was perfect! Thanks so much!
Thank you for your tutorial, I'm hoping to get one of these feet to make my own scarves and wraps. This looks just the foot I need for a neat and even finish. Best wishes Billie :)
You can use a rolled hem foot for the bottom of dress shirts, depending on the bulk of the side seams. If the side seams are pressed open you will be fine. If they are heavier (french or bound) I wouldn't recommend it. If you want to try on a shirt with a bulkier seam, try compressing the fibers in that area by hammering the end of the seam before you run it through the rolled hem foot.
Flange! It should be possible. See the notes about sewing on curves. If the material is coated, you will need to use a larger, sharp needle like a jeans 90. Good luck!
I have a husqvarna D1. I have a 10 mm rolled hemmer foot. I understand the concept however, the feet are different. I will try it, but do you know of one more closely related to my foot and machine. Thank you so much for a clear, concise, informative video.
You do great tutorials, thank you. I have just bought a hemmer foot to make a handkerchief. I love the hemmer foot BUT, how do I sew from corner to corner to make this handkerchief of mine with the hemmer foot???? Please help me :(
hey, can you please show us how to sew right around a cotton square (like the one in this video) with the same hemmer foot you have in this video. I have search all over youtube to find out how to sew a perfect hem around a square piece of material with a hemmer foot! I will be so grateful if you can show us. Thank you so much sara.
I'm trying to make a full cupcake-style ruffled skirt for a child. It was suggested to me to use fishing line in the rolled hem to acheive the "ruffled" look. Would I do this as I am sewing or after? Thanks for posting! I've only been sewing about a year and I've never taken the regualr foot off of my machine. I'm ready to try something new!
I'm still waiting for my rolled hemmer foot to arrive so I can practice with it but my question is how do you like go back to lock your stitches like with straight stitch when you back track? Thanks.
I think I've watched a half dozen of the "How To" videos on using the rolled hem foot and this is the ONLY one that not only solved the getting started problem for me, but also how to prevent the wavy edge that often results. Thank you!

Thank you for being so articulate and not adding a lot of useless chatter. Excellent tutorial!
I so wish that I had seen this much earlier. I have had a "dickens" of a time using my rolled hem foot.
Thanks Angela
Very nice, explained clearly and without alot of loud talking.
One of the better tutorials, clear, concise and full of tips. Thanks. I tend to use the old fashioned techniques and forget to PLAY with My Feet!!
Tried to use this foot before to no avail, first time try after watching your tutorial. I did it!!! Thank you so very much!!! ❤
Thanks! I couldn't figure out how to get started. Great tutorial.
I've been sitting with my sewing machine for the past hour trying to use my hemmer foot for the first time via the instructions in the manual, and I have to say - your method is a million times easier to get the roll started!

Great clear video. A bit of additional information would be how to handle the fabric when you get to seams.
Thanks! You did a great job explaining the rolled hem foot.
I also liked the preparation stage (1 inch) of folding the fabric before beginning.
This is one of the few things my mother couldn't teach me how to do when she was teaching me how to sew! Thank you so much...now I know how to use the various rolled hem feet I have for my machine :)
THANK YOU! It has been a very long time since I used this foot, and I couldn't remember exactly the steps. This is just the information I was looking for today.
Best video on this topic! Easy to understand for us not-so-confident seamstresses!
Unbelievable!!! I have been trying this from instructions from my sewing manual and NOTHING mentioned folding the fabric! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Whoa! This is so cool, I had no idea! Your videos are wonderful, I wish I lived near your store. I would like to see you answer the questions posted here.
That last tip is SO HELPFUL! Thank you!
That is a great starting technique. I can't wait to try it out.
Thank you for the lovely feedback! It's amazing what the simplest machines can do when you add on the extra feet. Have fun playing!
Thank you soooo much. It was quick. Informative and well presented. So many tutorials drag out and take so long.
u made this look so easy thnxs i was scared of using this foot on my machine =)
many thanks, very clear and easily understood instructions. just what i needed
Good tip at the end --I did a table topper and liked the wave but now I know how to not let that happen if I don't want it!
OHMYGAWD that's beautiful! I never knew there was such a presser foot that could make hems like that! Thanks so much for posting this:)
Thank you for this video. I gave up frustrated earlier today trying to do it without the correct presser foot
thank you!! its nice to have instruction from someone who knows what they are doing ...Bill

Loved it as soon you demostrated your "gynourmous proyect"
Thank you for your simple and straight forward explanation. I'm excited to try my new presser foot!
Thank you so much for the slow / close up of how to get started!
There is lots of good information at here.. I like it!!
Thank you so much! This was very helpful!
This explanation is the best that I've seen. I was reay to throw in the towel!
Thank you so much for this, I was able to do my very first rolled hem after God knows how many attempts thanks to your tutorial!!
That's amazing man, 4 sewing machines. Wow. That's a lot of fun right there
thank you so much, this demo has made my life SO much easier!!!
Thank you SEW much!!!
Ok, that's just too cute! ;-)
THank you LOVE this machine...I made 14 flags for my daughters flag team....Sure wish I would have found this first and or looked at the other arms that came with my emarald 118 . I am just learning!!! fun
Wow, that's awesome! That'll take me about a tenth of the time of pressing and pinning a narrow hem.
Very educational, thanks this was just what I was looking for.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I'm a beginner at sewing and have always had issues with doing hems, I think this will make it a lot easier!
Also! Use the 5mm rolled hemmer. If the hem is curved, sew a straight stitch in a 2mm stitch length very close to the raw edge of the fabric before using your rolled hem foot. This will prevent the fabric from stretching in the foot as you go around the bias.
Thanks - this is exactly want i wanted to know and now i feel confident at using this new foot :)
FABULOUS video; thank you!
Great tip and instruction. Thank you.

thank you just what I was looking for! Very straight forward and easy to follow - back to my sewing machine!
Thank you so much. That was super informative!
Thank you for your tutorial, I'm hoping to get one of these feet to make my own scarves and wraps. This looks just the foot I need for a neat and even finish.

Thank You! Thank You! Useful tip on the edge stitching also.
This was a huge help - thanks!
Love it! Thanks! Thanks for the skirt hem tip too!
great instructional video. Thank you!
Thanks, that seems even more doable than the way I view on another site.
Thankyou for this video!! Super helpful!
Excellent tutorial - I finally managed to do this ... thanks

Thanks so much!!! Very useful information.
Thank you for the information great video
Rather then backtacking, set the stitch length very short for the first few stitches. Then increase the stitch length and carry on. Good luck!
I normally do this by hand press sew on a straight stitch. This sounds much easier.
Perfect. I bet this stitch is underused.
excellent video tutorial. thank you.
This is EXACTLY what I needed, thank you! I even have the same sewing machine ;o)
Very useful info. Thanks.
this is so incredibly helpful! thank you!
you explained that perfectly! thank you.
awesome tips!!! Thank you!
Excellent clear guide

When we stitch on the bottom of a skirt how far do we sew in? Seam allowance? 1/2" 1" 5/8"? Thanks! Great tutorial btw.
Thank you
