Thank you and God bless you for sharing your knowledge and tips. I love this type of sewing.
Absolutely love the way you teach.
Right here on our levels.
As some would say "thanks for putting the jelly on the shelf so we could reach it."
You have a NEW FAN!
Thank you for watching. Please share this on social media. 🥰
From a fellow seamstress to another, I've e been making custom bridal gowns and alterations for 30 years. Well done on your video!
Thanks from Cpt, South Africa for your candidness and honesty. I always thought I was the only one who could not master the rolled hem foot.
I was taught in a tailor shop to better any cutting to fold hem under, stitch close to the edge, cut close to the first stitching and then roll under and stitch the second time. Comes out perfect every time.
That's probably the most common way. Many do prefer that method
88 years old and you are one smart cookie. Thanks
Haha. Aww, thanks!!
Thanks for this!!!! I have been sewing for 30+ years and I still get tips I can use 😁😁😁😁 love your personality!!! Makes watching fun
Thank you! 😊
Omg, This is game changer. I totally agree with you on that infamous rolled hem foot. Thank you, L
You are a shining light !!
I’ve been doing bridal for almost 25 years. The rolled hem foot is NOT my favorite, but I have found if I press the first roll I can manage it especially with chiffon.
Thanks to you I now use my zipper foot on my Juki. 😱.
Thank You Thank You Thank You for ALL your videos. Your so awesome and I love having you right there with me in my sewing room. 😍
I have sewn many items in my life but never anything as important as my daughters wedding dress. Your videos gave me courage to go with it. At first I watched so I could do the alterations. Now I will give her a special dress sewn with a mother's love in every stitch.
THANK YOU
Sandy
Wow!! Awesome!! 👏👏👏❤
Extraordinary video. Thank you for making this! The clear camera angles, the fact that I am not the only one who cannot get specialty rolled hem feet to work, everything!
I had just had a bad time at the machine with the rolled hem feet then I saw your video it saved my day thank you are very good at what you do vI really enjoyed your video take care keep on Shinning
Thank you!!!! Please share on social media! It means so much. ❤❤
Girl I don’t even watch your videos to do bridal sewing..I watch for general sewing and your videos are still so helpful!
Yay! Thanks!! :) Welcome aboard. ❤⚓
OMG! Thanks for telling the last part about the perfect seamstress I have blamed myself many times and sometimes haven't charged for my work. I love all your tutorials.
Since your fabric is Silk Organza. Just a tip to know that Silk Organza makes a wonderful pressing cloth! You'll love it. (😱😰NEVER EVER TRY AND PRESS POLYESTER ORGANZA WITH AN IRON IT MELTS 😱!!!😰)
This is actually the best video ever
Thank you!!! Please share it on social media. It helps so much!
I wish I had seen this last year when I was trying to hem lined chiffon trousers. Beyond a nightmare. thanks so much . brilliant!
I prefer what you did because I tried the rolled hem foot and it was a disaster. Thanks for sharing you unique way.
Very good tutorial for a complicated procedure, thank you!
No wonder my hand hurt after cutting for a while. I was doing it wrong all along. Such a seemingly simple thing. Thank you for the great information.
Darya Lukicheva I give my shears a drop of sewing machine oil periodically. Wipe well before using
Great job, I finally understand. I will be following your technique from now on.
I'm so glad I could help!
Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I alter prom and bridesmaid dresses. The manufactured hems are horrible! The curves and rumples in the rolled hems are difficult to work. Thank you for showing how to remedy this headache.
Very helpful and comprehensive. I love your sense of humor.
Thank you so much! I am newbie and loved your wonderful video teaching.
Amazing tutorial! Just found this beauty. Thank you so much literally thought I was going insane. You have my upmost respect for sharing your knowledge. It is priceless. So many clips out there on offer that don’t really show you, or explain anything. I think you have just save me years of not quite understanding the behaviour of the ‘fabric and stitch’.
Wow! Thank you!
I love your patient to explain every single detail, thank you so much. I’m having trouble to do zigzag in the edge of the fabrics. Could you make a video explaining different kind of tiny zig zag in a regular sewing machine, please?? It will be awesome. Thank you so much 😊.
Clicked on this while pinning a 1/2" rolled hem, you are so impressive!
Thanks for joining in!
@@BridalSewing Thanks, I found pulling a little to the left like you suggested helped it come out a little neater.
Im new at sewing. My husband bought me a singer for my birthday. So far im just altering clothes. I have done a few hems and didn't turn out great. Im going to use this next time.
Thanks for being real
Thank Thank Thank You
Girl, I just love you. Great video.
Thanks! Welcome to the community! 😁🤗
First time watching you and I love your way of teaching. Big compliments to you. I have subscribed and will be following you.
Thank you! Welcome to the community! ❤
You are a good teacher my dear ,how about doing it on the serger I have done on bridesmaid dresser and looked nice you have to have same coloured tread
Yes. :) serger is very neat when you have the perfect color thread.
Hi, great video on a straight salvage but, how does this technique work on the bias? I would love to see you demonstrate this.
ua-cam.com/video/DOipWHRhXkE/v-deo.html
Can you show how to do a corner like hemming a chiffon scarf. How to continue hemming from a straight edge to a corner and continue. Like for example a square scarf. Thanks.
This was insanely helpful! I'm so happy you made this video and I'm even happier I found it. I was hoping I could ask a question. I'm doing alterations on my own wedding gown, can't afford a pro to do it. I can't stand the train.. I'm thinking of just cutting it right off. But it's about 2 1/2 feet long and tulle. Would the part where you talk about working with the curve be what I'd have to do to keep it laying right once I have the gown on? I just want to cut it so it's floor length and even with the rest of the gown. I already did this to the polyester part of the train but the tulle layers make me nervous
I love reviewing all your videos......I was wondering if you prefer to hem the underlayers first....or the outermost layer.......does it really matter?......
Inner most. It def matters! Check my series I did last year about pinning and cutting ballgowns.
@@BridalSewing thank you so much for your quick response...I will review your videos on ballgowns.. I learn so much from you !!! I do appreciate everything you do !
What an amazing video!! I feel as though I have found a gem!! I love everything about it! Thank you so much !!
I loved your video. Very informative. I am wondering how you deal with going over the side seam, especially when it falls on those difficult curved edges. They always give me fits. Thanks!
Cut the seam allowance out up to the measurement of the hem allowance. I have several rolled hem videos & I know that it shows that in one of them. I can't remember which one right off.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! Have you ever tried staystitching one milimeter away from the edge and then using the rolled hem foot? don't ask me where I got that idea from. Some video I can't find anymore, but it seriously works. and then just follow the regular instructions for using the rolled hem foot, but holding the edge low and following the angle of the cut out on the foot. It works every time for me. I even did your curved fabric edge on purpose and cut it waving back and forth. It works every time. Try it out and let me know what you think.
I did your way. Please visit my channel. Thank you very much
Thank you! In my almost 50 years of sewing practically everything, I have come to the same conclusion - the rolled hem foot only works under ideal conditions (that is, fantasy land). I have made it work a couple times on very stable fabric perfectly on grain. But mostly it is a waste of time.
Same here, same 50 years
Exactly! 60+ years of sewing! I use BanRol or starch if it is a poly and I can use steam afterwards.
I've been sewing 60 years. I Absolutly love my rolled hem foot. Works perfectly for me every time. All types of fabric. It's super fast too. I don't have one for my Juki. I have it on my Phaff 7570 that I bought in 1996.
I have had success maybe once!☹️. So disappointing….
@@peggymason7438 I have a Juki DDL8700 and use the rolled hem foot everytime. Only way to have it be perfect...chiffon, silk, you name it.
Very thorough.
I try!! :D
Thank you so much for sharing this! What kind of iron are you using?
Go to my channel homepage on here and search the word iron and you will see some videos about it. I also link to it on the products page of my websites. Bridalsewingtechniques.com
Your content is great but would truly be useful if you time stamped it so we can navigate to essential sections repeatedly
I agree! Volunteers welcome. :) maybe someday I'll be able to do that when this channel is big enough to be profitable. Unfortunately, sewing is still my priority in order to pay the bills. Someday!? 🤩
Hello again :). I am taking on a new project where I will be hemming about 50 formal gowns. I want to do a rolled hem. The gowns are constructed in such a way that it has the skirt and a second skirt that lays over the first skirt and is open in the front. The under skirt has an off white panel down the front of the gown the over skirt is black and extends over the off white panel in the shape of an upside down V down the front of the dress. The second skirt is attached at the waist only and flows over the under skirt. The front panel of the black over skirt is a chiffon that is two layers thick at the front to the side seam and is one layer thick in the back. My question is; do I just roll both layers together on those front panels? Also should I stop machine stitching the hem a little before the end in the dress front and hand stitch the hem on the front panels up to the finished edge? Most hems are a complete circle with no beginning or end. In this top skirt the hem ends on either side of the off white panel. Is there a trick to finishing those points that you can recommend?
Love the zipper foot it is easier!!!🙋🏽♀️❤️❤️
Thank you. I bought 3 different three different rolled hem feet and none of them worked for me.
Right!?? Same! I think i've tried them all! :)
ugh i love youuu thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
Can we talk about the rolled hem foot for a second? Bernina's video had a major light come on for me and i finally get how the foot is supposed to work. ua-cam.com/video/HV3Sy8HhQ_Y/v-deo.html . On the left of the foot, there is an angled notch. If you make sure the raw edge follows that edge, it'll double roll. The thread handles to pull the fabric into the foot are genius. And you control the fabric from the left, don't try to force the roll from the right, move fabric from the left more right, it feels like you are going to make a curved stitch but it comes out straight.
Wonderful love your tips. What is the name of that thin foot on your machine?
They come in pairs, a left & a right Invisible zipper foot
What sort of fabric is that it looks like a cotton.
Hi! :D I explain in the videos that it is silk organza.
Awesome tutorial!
Pleas i have aqustion
I want to sew horsehair braid between two layers of organza..i dont want the thrid to show. Becuse the circle skirt from the front
I do have a lined horsehair braid hemming tutorial. That should help. Your fabrics are different, but that's okay. Use invisible nylon thread instead of cotton/poly & it should turn out well! Best wishes!!
@@BridalSewing Thank you so much so kind of you that you answerd me
Wish you happiness 💐
Brenda where’ve you been.
I need to post on community tab about it! I've scaled back my time on vid production & emails this summer bc been so busy. I'll start uploading again soon. I have my long vid coming up on making sleeves for a strapped gown, and a couple short ones. I'll be back & active again soon. Promise! :)
I have never had total success with a rolled hem foot. It's a quitter. Lol
Rita Stogdill McVey amen & amen!! Lol
Why not use a rolled hem presser foot? Save all the troubles.
At 20:17 I start expounding on this to great lengths. I went into painful detail at this segment, also other times in this vid, & in my other rolled hem vid.
Hahahah....the seamstress has a manicure and drives a Ferrari.....love it!!!
This might be one of the greatest sewing videos on all of UA-cam, nevermind rolled hems. I'm a wild researchaholic and I so, so appreciate your effort! Thank you so much.
I love you to death. Your videos are AWESOME for me. I am exactly the person you describe - I've sewn since I was 9 and worked on doll clothes, have done extensive theatrical costuming, but now at age 57 I'm specializing in bridal alterations...and you are an absolute Godsend.
Thank you for watching! :)
I've tried the dreaded rolled hem foot so many times and failed, it's good to know it's not me ... I feel normal again lol
Tracy Hughes yay!! Goal accomplished!
I came across this video accidentally. I had hemming issues with my daughter's prom dress. You touched on every single issue I ran into! Tomorrow, I'll be ripping those seams out carefully and trying your techniques!! I can't wait to "fix" it! Her dress is made with vintage couture fabric and it's the very first formal I've ever made from her own design. I'd love for her to be able to wear it proudly! Thanks a bunch for the tips I didn't even know I needed! 🙂
Band camp days and wedgies. Hahahaha. I've just been trying to learn to use a rolled hem foot. Nightmare. You validate the zipper foot method.
21:46 THANK YOU for using the rolled hem foot. After watching several different videos and just not getting it, I finally got it. Seriously. Thank you. Subscribed!
P.S. - your description was right, I am not most people. 😅
I find most of the time those specialty feet don't work unless like you said, the perfect conditions are there. Thank you for showing the realness of being a seamstress. When you think you have all the tricks there is always another out there! Thanks for being so transparent and yes... I raised my hand many times through this video. hahah
Thank you for this extensive tutorial! I have tried to do rolled hems before and just couldn't get it to work right. Of course I have tried multiple times on a curved edge, probably not where I need to be starting. I am currently working on my daughter's flower girl dress, then my bridesmaid's dress, then my wedding dress to follow that. I have been watching your videos looking for inspiration and ideas. Thank you so much! I will certainly try rolled hems again with your technique!
Remember the fingers to the left and behind the presser foot is where the magic happens!!
You are absolutely fabulous not only to watch but to listen to (LOVE YOUR HUMOR)
Yes! I agree. So good!
Thank you so much! I have been sewing for many many decades. I have sewn many items of clothing for infants up to prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, & even 1 bridal dress. All have turn out beautifully, but I have had a little difficulty with the rolled hem. This video was amazing.
Ooh thank you sooooo much for your words of wisdom about the pattern companies.. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT ".. So many times I wanted to give up.
I'm so glad I found you.
I hope you're still sewing.
Thank you for discussing the frustrating curved hems on factory gowns! I am no alone ..I appreciate those detailed tips and problem solving!
Thank you so much shearing this technique
Omg... The SCISSOR tutorial...
Beginning: Does she think we are all stupid? End: Nope... I'm the stupid one. 40 years old and never been using my scissors right! 😫
Thanks for this whole tutorial. There was SO much to take in and learn!
You're the first sewist who talk about tension! It's like I'm in the sewing room next to you ❤ amazing tutorial!
Thank you!
Years ago my father took my calculator away and told before I use it I should try learning to calculate without it. This would help me establish a better understanding of math and how to use this knowledge.
I am finding the same applies to sewing. There are many “tools” designed to save time or increase expertise and outcome. But all too often one finds their attempts to use them unsuccessful. Because they don’t have a basic knowledge of how to accomplish the task without them and soon they are seen as a hindrance, a progress stopper. I was this person and when I first came across this video I quickly ignored it thinking it was too “outdated” and that the modern approach using specific presser feet for this task would turn out better. Boy was wrong. So I had to humbly return like a dog with his tail between his legs and strictly follow your instructions. I am truly every so grateful to you because I found I am now able to execute this task better and better with each practice session. Now I feel more confident and comfortable
Thanks again!
That's so awesome to hear!!! I'm so happy for you! That's how many of my "different" techniques were born- out of frustration with heavily marketed gadgets but a love for how fabric actually "works." Welcome to the community!
After watching this I used my zipper foot for the first time to sew a rolled hem on a bridesmaid dress. Worked like a charm. I also have a rolled hem foot for my machine and can never get it quite right. Never again will I try it after this. Thank you.
Good luck! :)
Oh lord, the rolled hem foot. I learned to use one and like it just fine now, but there was so much cussing involved in the learning process, lol!
🙊
Thankyou for sharing the real of our every day life as skilled professionals. Absolutely feel ya, hear ya and empowered to know I AM NOT ALONE in my sewing superpowers.
Thank you for this!!! 42 minuters about a hem!❤️🙏 And your forgiving attitude that things go wrong. I have ADD and have many ideas but I my working memory sucks. When you explained the left hands tension that really was a revival for me! And THE S- hook in One of THE other videos...omg...that was soooo Amazing! Can you be my Fairy Godmother?😂😍
Hello from Egypt 🇪🇬, I really want to thank you for your time and video, I struggled with the rolled hins sooooooooo so many times, I hated it, you made it so easy and would definitely try it, will post a photo for you, so helpful channel, please don't stop. Thank you
Thank you. I love your fine finishing techniques. I love sewing dresses for special occasions but i was aware that I was lacking the high-end couture skills. I've seen some YT sewing tutorials that get the outside look right, but the inner side of the dress is a mess. I was looking for a master seamstress - You are one :) God Bless
found you while I was preparing myself to hem my bridesmaid dresses. I don't know why I didn't try to do them myself for previous dresses since I sew, but thank you for this in-depth tutorial. You definitely got me to laugh by keeping it real haha thank you!
Thanks for your honesty, super helpful video and gives me confidence to keep trying sewing with light fabrics, they can give me such a headache sometimes!
WOW! This was the best tutorial and explanations ever! I could watch your tutorials all day long! Not that I'm going to do bridal dresses, but I have made Christening dresses and Flower Girl dresses. Am thinking about using my wedding gown fabric to make the Flower Girl's dress (to be worn by my great niece) at my son's wedding next summer. Not sure yet. Maybe after I watch more of your videos!, You do beautiful work-- thanks for sharing your expertise with us!!!
Oh how I wished I had found your video sooner, I just finished altering a bridesmaids dress. I will definitely practice this over and over. Thank you.
I am a knitter, crochet and a quilter. With as much patience as you have you should give knitting another try. 🙋♀️🌹
Thank you for your videos, these are truly helpful, your technical skills combined with your teaching skills is gold! Greetings from Hungary
You are a expert: seamstress, psychologist, teacher, and a doll. Thank you much for this video.
Aw, thank you. ❤️
Where do you got that invisible zipper foot and will it only work on Juki machine ? Could one use a 2 sided zipper foot and use the left side ? BTW this is a great video and love your sense of humor !
I usually only get from eBay. You could search it. It's usually sold as a set, right and left inv zipper foot. It should say which machines it works with. They are also usually pretty cheap, so I often end up experimenting & tossing the ones I don't like. I don't really know of a more efficient way of picking out the best one for me. Lol 🤷♀️ Thank you for watching! Don't forget to Subscribe & hit the bell.
Thanks you have new subscriber ! 😁
Thank you for this! It was absolutely fantabulous! I love how in depth you went, this is perfect!
I would love it if my brides brought me dresses to alter that had silk organza hems to roll, but nine times out of ten they are made of polyester. Ugh! A real nightmare! Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Ha! True!
Thank you so much for this demonstration. It was just what I was looking for. I used this technique to hem a piece of cotton voile I was making into a shawl. It worked like a dream. So much better than another tutorial I looked at. The teacher wanted us to first sew a line of stitching near the edge then press along the stitching, at that point I just thought that wasn't for me and yours was the next one I tried. Perfect! I have hit subscribe.
Thank you so much! Yes, sometimes I feel like there's a lot of unnecessary complication and intimidation going on in sewing tutorials.
Very helpful, thank you. I was able to rescue a bridesmaids dress that had been hemmed and altered by a “professional”. It was pretty bad. I got thee hem trimmed evenly and was able to roll and stitch easily by following your instruction. Much appreciated.
“Let er flounce”. Lol! I love it! Such a thorough video. And I love your mannerisms ♥️.
Thank you. ((Blush))
I would love to do it your way! So much less time than pressing, sewing cutting, sewing again. I need some scrap chiffon!!
Again, you are amazing. Always have had issues with garments/fabric that the grain is not straight and I am left with the problem that one can virtually not fix. Thanks for sharing the problems.
It's real, girl! The last thing we need is another fake sewing tutorial channel! ❤
Extremely helpful!!! YES THANK YOU!!! SO MUCH of my time sewing has been saved from this video. Amazing.
Thank you!! Please share on your social media. ❤❤
Thank you for this tutorial! I have a 40ish yr old Kenmore machine. I saw rolling hem zipper feet being sold in places like Temu but was confused as to how to attach them until I saw another tutorial about them and realized they are for much newer models where the feet just 'snap' on. My machine requires feet to be installed/screwed on the left side like yours. I've always struggled with the rolled hem - would try to pre-roll and pin it down then try to sew it in place. It sort of worked but I could never roll a nice fine hem. The tension is the key as you have shown. I think I will try and find the left zipper foot. :)
Thank you so much for the tips. I’m working on sewing Barbie clothes. And, yes, those tiny hems are important. 💕🌟
Oi!! Those itty bitty clothes are difficult!
“Just let ‘er flounce.” Thank you for that. I have been pressing it wrong and doing not 2 but 3 lines of stitching for my rolled hems and still my hems are not tiny. I am making my third wedding dress. My sister’s was my first then mine. Fast forward 25 years and many prom and bridesmaid dresses later. I am now making my daughters wedding dress with an A line skirt and multiple layers of curved rolled hems. Wish me luck.
Awh. Sewing is such a beautiful thing. ❤ Isn't it precious?
Kristen Howard I’m sewing my daughter’s gown...she gets married Saturday! How is yours coming?? (Lemme guess...you’re on the hem too! 🤓)
Julie Anne Moore Edwards. Congrats on your daughter’s wedding and her I am sure her beautiful gown. You are many steps ahead of me on the gown front. I should have said that I am preparing to sew my daughter’s wedding dress. Her wedding in in July of this year. We are at the planning stages which right now entails binge watching these fantastic videos and coming up with the design and shopping for fabric lace etc. The hem always scares me the most ! Best to you and your daughter.
I'm sweating about two prom dresses coming my way from granddaughters. I know money was an issue so I can't wait to see how they were cut! You mentioned a fine needle and wondering about the type of thread on synthetic fabric because 40 wt is pretty standard, unlike availability for heirloom sewing. What do you think about matching the color of the thread? Thank you so much.
when I was in fashion school and doing a Lingerie class we were taught to always fold over once only and sew 1mm from the edge then trim it off and fold over again to get the final 2mm edge..... but I really would love it if someone showed how to do this on circular organza as you would find on a frilled or waterfall collar...
