- A Rolled hem will work to finish the edges of a scarf, a dress or skirt hem, and even a pant hem. Margaret Fette owner of the University of Sewing at the Tailored Fit has sewn professionally for her entire adult life.
This method has been taught to hundreds of sewists you can learn this too.
This method works better with curved corners than a squared-off corner.

So wonderful to see an alternative to using a rolled hem foot.
This was very slick. I am sure I will use it often.
Thank you!
I've been watching several video's on this subject and you made it so easy! can't wait to do my xmas napkins...
So happy to find your help!! I had just been asked to hem a dress with a rolled hem and had no idea how. You explained it perfectly and the dress came out perfectly!
I am so glad that I found this video! I can’t wait to get home and practice tonight! The rolled hem has been the bane of my existence as a beginning sewer. This will help tremendously 😊
**UPDATE
I altered a prom dress using this method, and it turned out AWESOME! 26 feet of satin, and it looked like it came from a pro seamstress! Thank you again for posting this video. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hooray! I'm so happy it helped you!
You made this wonderfully easy for a beginner; thank you so much!
Very clear explanation. Thx.
This seems to be such an easy way to do a rolled hem. Am gonna be using it on a "flowing" hi - low dress I'm altering for myself. TYSM for sharing this video with us. Love your channel.
So much better than using a rolled hem foot, wonderful.
Thank you for sharing this! Made understanding this hem so much easier!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you 💖
Great ~ Thank you so much, very easy to understand. You make it look so easy, but I know it isn't!
I just use a rolled hem foot. Makes it a breeze.
I've done a hem this way before, but it's been YEARS. Thank you for the video and step by step refresher course! And yay! I have presser foot #5 with my Bernina Virtuosa 160.
You are welcome!
Hi there, my name is Jim. I bought the Singer Heavy Duty machine. I bought Yeqin 7 pcs adjustable Rolled Hem Foot
great Instructions...:) ...how do you go around the corners?
Do you think this is easier and/or faster than using a rolled hem foot (I've never used one of these and am researching it, which is why I'm asking)?
What about curves?
Thank you
Hi, Does this work well with a sheer fabric with a curved hem?Thanks. What is the best length of stitch length for shear fabric rolled hem?
How do I attach them to the machine?
Oooooh!. if looks could kill LOL
What type foot is your number 5 foot? The generic name.
Thank you - I’m just about to sew my first rolled hem and this has helped so much. But why fold so much fabric over on the first pressing and so waste quite a lot of fabric? Will it work with, say, just 1cm? I say this because I have already cut a skirt hem to just 2 cm below the hemline I need.
You can determine the amount to fold up with the first fold I like to have at least 1 inch. Especially in ready to wear you could have a lot more if you are short like I am.
The fabric I have can’t be pressed. Even if I use a warm iron, it’s such soft fabric, it won’t hold a crease. Any suggestions?
When this happens to me I use a bit of spray starch.
I will stitch a basting stitch along the first fold line. It usually is stable enough to hang on and fold. Good luck.
That seems to be using more fabric, thread and time than necessary. I either fold and press both turns and sew once or use a roller hem foot. Much more efficient.
This method works really well when you have a ready made garment you are hemming. Also many people aren't familiar with rolled hem feet, they do take some time to practice with and get used to. Use what ever you like for a garment from scratch.
Open toad foot? Lol
This would be even more helpful if the camera would center in on what she is doing. For much of the video, what she is "showing" us is just off camera so we can't actually see what she is doing. "See, Look at that." No, sorry, I can't actually see what you are doing.
Thank You, Margaret! I was a bit nervous doing my first rolled hem on a very nice shirt. I watched and rewatched your video and I think it came out really well! Great explanations and demonstrations!
