THANK YOU!!!! I've been "told" how to do this about a million time but NEVER "got it". Finally, I understand!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
You explained it so much better than the manual that came with my machine. Gonna practice. Have two pair of dress pants to hem for my grown son and really tired of doing them by hand. Been doing them by hand for years. Have known my new machine does it, but hadn't tried it yet. Thanks so much. I subscribed.
Thank Thank Thank
The 1st video that explained it so much better and used a machine
u made my day
I've been watching videos on blind hems to send one to my beginner daughter and I struck gold with yours! You did a fabulous job with the sample and gave clear, concise instructions. The icing on the cake is that she has the same machine!! Thanks so much for providing the help my visual girlie needed!
I'm so glad it worked out for you :)
I have all these mysterious feet and no clue what to do with them. Your tutorials are clear AND awesome. I just registered on your site.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to share this. One thing I'd like to add for those who may be new to sewing is that some machines don't even require a presser foot change. I use a Singer Inspiration and it is one of those machines which you can use the general foot for all of its stitch functions. The one thing I always advise is to check your machine's manual as they have a table in them which shows which settings and machine pieces you'll need for your specific machine. Also, if you've lost your manual the internet is a beautiful thing. Most machine manuals can be found online with a quick Google search.
Finally, someone who actually showed the settings on the sewing machine! This was super helpful, thanks:)
Nyanda Jackson You're very welcome :)
Oh that's what the extra foot that came with my sewing machine is for. Thanks.
Your video did the best job of explaining HOW to pin and flip the hem properly. That was the one piece that I couldn't really 'visualize' until I watched your video. Incidentally, I have a brother sewing machine that came with one of the blind hem foots that has the bar and the adjustable arm. It also seems to have two blind hem stitches, one facing left and one facing right. Very handy.
I'm so glad you mentioned about using this with lightweight fabrics. I was researching ways to hem a light broadcloth and now I know how!
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
I had to use a normal foot, but after practicing a few times it worked out perfectly
excellent, i recently had pants hemmed this way professionally & thanks to your video, I can save a fw bucks, Thank you.
Just to let you know your video is still the best out there for explaining this. Way better than my machine handbook and thumbs up for demonstrating using fabric with a clear difference between right and wrong side. Thank you very much.
I'm all for saving time and keeping a nice professional look. Thanks for showing us how with this video. The next hem I do will be on my sewing machine for sure!
She is the absolute best at giving this instruction. She made it so understandable.
Thank you so much for the kind words :)
great! I'm glad we were able to help you out. :)
Thank you Thank you! I watched 2 other videos first and tried to do this blind stitching for my pant leg hem on my own and I messed up-stitching was on the wrong side! I took it apart and decided to try again. I found your video and it made sense to me with your explanation of pinning-that was the key for me and folding over with the little edge exposed! I followed your steps and I tried again- and yippee it worked! I was so pleased and I did the second pant leg with ease! Thank you so very much! I will check out your other videos. This teaching style worked for me!
yay! glad you found our tutorials helpful and your pants turned out well :) Be sure to subscribe as we release a new tutorial every week
For an amateur like me I would really have needed to see how you folded that hem. And yes, I am that clueless but I'm trying to learn!
That's great to hear! :) It really is a lot faster.
Thank You!!! I have utilized my seam ripper so much today until i found you very easy to follow step by step instructions and guidance...you truly saved me from sewing it by hand...☆☆☆☆☆
Aishel Marie yay! I love a happy ending. so glad you found our tutorials helpful :)
Thank you for explaining this, especially the pinning of the hem. That part always threw me off and I would just hand sew my hems. Thank you, thank you!!!
Thanks so much for this clear and easy to understand tutorial! I'm anxious to go try it out now.
I hope it worked out for you. :) Thanks for watching
Wow, best tutorial on a blind hem! I had to change my needle placement to the left but my son's pants look great! Thank you.
This is the best tutorial on you tube for this process. Thank you so much!
Thanks this is the easiest way to show 'How the hem was Folded' to start the hem.. Thanks - now it looks easy.. So many I've seen says fold this way then this way and turn over etc... was so confusing.. Why couldn't they have said fold your hem like you want ti and then turn it over as you showed.. haha Thanks so much..
Awesome amazing! Just used the tutorial and did a perfect blind hem that is totally invisible with a woollen fabric. This is game changing -I'm way too lazy to do these by hand. I had to keep the fabric really tight on the side of the foot (almost to the point of squishing it under the broad side.).
Hi,
We have a specific tutorial on a basic hem located on our channel, go to it and search for "How To Sew A Hem". In this video we show you how to fold it. I recommend learning a regular hem before doing a blind one. If you cant find it, just send me a private message and I can send you a direct link. This comment area does not allow links. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much! You are awesome.
I too have a Husquvarna Lilly. A tip that I learned about the machine especially if
it makes a grinding sound and binds up. It is a sign that the needle is ever so slightly bent unknown to me. Usually if I turn it off and change the needle I am good to go. Also liked you demo on blind hem. I made an example out of paper and drew in the stitching a lines with a pen. Why did I wait so long to learn this
amazing technique?! Mary
Thank you! Very helpful especially with how to do the fold right. =}
Very informative. Thanks.
Thanks! :) There will be lots more to come
thank you so much for the excellent instruction! I've heard of this type of hem but had no idea about what it meant. I believe I will be able to do it after watching this tutorial, however, changing out the foot makes my shoulders tense up! :) bye for now
Your videos are my life!
Glad it worked out for you! :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
This was an excellent video!
I agree with you, especially if they move too fast and then I'm like WHA? haha. glad we could help you out.
Thank you, useful tutorial, I'll give it a try
@BadgeBunnyDiva Thank you so much for your comments! I'm so glad you found our tutorials helpful. If you ever have any sewing questions, please feel free to ask me. I'm here to help. :)
It's the Husqvarna Lily 535. I've had it for years and it's still going strong.
Thanks sooo much!!!! Very upclose and well explained!!!! :)
Thank you thank you thank you
thank you
thanking you xx
well, you can still see it, but it's definitely not as noticeable as a regular hem. Whoever named it probably just thought, "meh, close enough." :)
Bravo lady, Bravo!!!!
Thanks! :D
I'm with you. I love saving a few bucks. :D
great video
hmmm...I would test it out on a small piece. It might work better on delicate bridal netting then the netting with the larger holes. Otherwise, you might just see the thread from both sides anyways
Very helpful tutorial....Thanks.....Curious....what machine are you using.
I just bought a Janome Sewist 525.
You explained it really well. When I buy a machine, I will look for that type of stitch as I really need a machine mainly for hemming and taking in the sides. Wonder if you have a video on taking in a dress or blouse to make it fit better.
we don't have a tutorial on this yet. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Great tutorial. Might I suggest you use a solid color fabric with high contrast colored thread? I strained to see the stitches with that geometric print.
Thankyou!!!
thanks
you're welcome :)
Aw woooow, awesome!!!
if you use a regular presser foot do you have to change the needle position further to the right to accommodate the zigzag?
Rita Kitenplon I didn't change my needle placement, it's still in the center.
I don’t understand how you put the fabric into the foot
This is exactly the way ready to wear clothes are hemmed! I can do this with my 1951 Singer and the zig zag attachments, but I love hand work so don't do it that way.
Is a "blind hem" a hem you can't see?
Easy to tell right sides from wrong sides so you did good there. But you pre-pinned the garment, blah.
thank you
