Holy moly. This is THE video I was looking for. I couldn't figure out how to get my rolled hems to work at the start- they were looking messy at first and then couldn't get them to feed through properly. The biggest takeaways that helped me here: - Using a pin to help push the start of the hem through the foot - Using a "Sewing Spider" to feed through first. Those tips made my bandana hems take 1/3rd the time. And that's just this first one I did. It was taking 30-40 minutes to do all four sides, and I just did one in 20 minutes. So, thank you. This was incredibly helpful and showed some tips I hadn't seen on any other rolled hem tutorial.
Thanks for showing how to start with this rolled hem foot. One suggestion I would definitely offer to keep your fabric in place when you stop sewing to have the sewing need in the stop DOWN position. You'll find it stops the fabric from moving while you check out your progress. Thank for attempting this delicate sewing
The sewing spider is BRILLIANT! I've never heard of that before but I LOVE how well it works! I'm making doll clothes and it helps so much to keep the beginning stitches looking nice...plus it gives me a little something to hold on to when feeding those tiny pieces under the foot. The tips for the rolled hem were great! I wish I could share the pictures with you. Thanks again!
I just followed your video as I was stitching on a piece of cotton I lifted my fabric as I was stitching to get a perfect hen. Thanks for this video it was very informative.
Thanks for the u tube for sewing a rolled hem and teaching me about using a sewing spider!! NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE.... SUCH A CLEVER SUGGESTION!!! THANK YOU!
Thanks for this tutorial. I'll be using my rolled hem presser foot for the first time in the next few days (aaaaaggh!) to hem the curved skirt panel of a costume for Godspell. Obviously I'll have a good practise first but hopefully you tutorial will ensure I don't muck it up on the actual fabric. Wish me luck!!
Great video, Babs! Thank you! Now ... let's see a video using this foot to finish a table napkin, complete with turning the corners. That's been my greatest challenge with the rolled hem presser foot.
I was going to ask the same question! I have always done my napkins just doing regular hems with mitered corners because I didn't know how to do rolled hems...
Thank you for posting this. The 2 problems I had were that 1) your hand was blocking a lot of the view, 2) the view was from the side, not straight on. I will look for other rolled hem tutorials and use your tips to help me learn. Merry Christmas
I like how you explain "reality" the pretty part and not so pretty one....very useful definitely, I now know what to expect 🙃. I just ordered a set of those let's see how they work for me. Thank you. "Lovely curve" haha yeah curves are hideous 🙄 but they need to be done. And the spider thing........oooh...great tip!
New subscriber here. Thanks for your brilliant tutorials. Bought 4 new feet for the sewing machine which has been dusted off after spending time under the bed. Looking forward to making new projects now I know how to use the feet x
Thanks so much for this video! I had never heard of a sewing spider before but it did make it so much easier. I asked at my local fabric store about using this foot and no one could help me. I couldn't even buy one locally I had to order one. I'm working with a silk and wanted this hem and want to try to use tulle to make a curly hem with the fishing line method.
Hey thank you so much for your tips. I've been putting it off learning to master the hem footer after messing it up despite other tutorials ive watched, but your video works for me. I had Just completed a hem a minute ago and it's sooo neat! Thanks.
What you do is, take a few stitches, then pull out your thread far enough to get your hand around - then feed your fabric through the hemmer with your right hand, while pulling on (guiding) the threads from the back, with your left hand.
I use a hand sewing needle and thread to assist. Make a couple of stitches about 1/4" from both top and side edge of the fabric to assist in pulling the fabric through when starting. Similar to Babs 'spider', but I tug on the thread to get it to start. IMHO much easier than trying to poke at it with your fingers. Hope this helps.
great video, you got me going with it, i have a featherweight and i am definitely not a heavyweight seamsmaster (dude)--i was using the wrong attachment, plus had no real idea how to get it started - but i also don;t really understand what a sewing spider is supposed to do - mine seems to do ok without it
Thank you for this vodeo. Please can you advise me what sew8ng machine i buy to sew heavy, leather and light fabric . I dream about something semi professionnal and at the same time domestic so that i can do zigzag and button holes too. I started searching 3 onths ago and every machine has some inconvenients... thanks
Great video to get me started. I have this set and had no idea on how to use the feet in them. I'm new to sewing so this is very helpful. Looking forward to seeing more.
A dodgey spot 😂😂 I've never heard of working with a spider piece before! Great tip! I am working on a beauty and the beast Belle dress for my toddler. Lots of rolled hem chiffon pieces. Thanks for the video!
I'd love to see a tutorial on using your rolled hem foot and handkerchief corners. With your wonderful techniques I get beautiful starts and hems but the corners give me fits. The "sewing spider" demo is THE BEST bit of advise...THANK YOU!
Great tips. Thank you 😺I used a long nose pair of tweezers to stick fabric in the roller part as it fed in. I like the sewing spider idea. I’ve seen others do 3 stitches by using the hand wheel manually on the sewer before putting your foot on the foot pedal. I do prefer to iron press always. I like the spider👍
I actually prefer not to start with the tail alluded to below; Babs' technique allows for sufficient control. I use a tiny screwdriver from an old Elna machine to guide and coax the fabric edge.
Thank you. That explanation was very helpful. If I do have a part where the hem is not right like the mistakes you showed by "not paying attention", do you suggest I remove all of the hem or just let it stay like that or is there a way to repair the mistake area? I dont want to torture the fabric, but I want it to look the best it can.
What do you do when you're using this foot to hem a finished project? For instance, a hem on a skirt that will be all the way around. I guess what I mean is what do you do when you get back to the starting point of the hem and the material won't go through the presser foot because it's already hemmed in place?
Please share the video to set 🙏 the tensions according to the different types of clothes and to set the tensions according to the different types of pressure foot.I have Juki sewing machine
I found when using this foot on satin that if you hold the fabric in a double fold that it feeds more easily and stops it from pulling out so much. effectively you are holding the fabric in the position you want it to come out as and stops raw edges from peaking through!
Gave me a really good idea of how it works, but when you were feeding the fabric through with the pin we couldn’t see anything because your fingers were blocking the view of where you were working. Still helpful. How are you
MzKFoster I would suggest using a rolled hem on any edge of a lightweight fabric, an over lay for a skirt/dress, a gauzy sleeve etc. Also the bottom curved hem of a man's shirt is traditionally finished with a rolled hem. This is the reason I demonstrate how to use this type of hem on a curve. This type of hem would be tricky to use with an uneven fabric such as a lace.
That technique gives you the curled ruffles for cupcake dresses doesn't it? It's another great way to use the foot. A possible new tutorial I think. Thanks for the reminder 😊

Very comforting to see its hard for others to work with this foot too 😂
Youre telling me!! Just used this on satin god bless my soul. Quite fiddly but much easier than pressing a tiny rolled hem on this blouse
Successfully used my Rolled Hem foot for the first time while following your advice. Thank You

Вэб
The best explanation I have found after many videos I have checked. Thanks a lot! 😃
This is by far the only tips that works for me in using this presser foot 😁 Thank you! Now, a "sewing spider" is my friend ❤️
I appreciate you showing your mistakes and explaining why they happened.
The sewing spider idea will save my seams!!! Thank you so much!!! I have never thought to do that!
I just followed your video as I was stitching on a piece of cotton I lifted my fabric as I was stitching to get a perfect hen. Thanks for this video it was very informative.
Thanks for the u tube for sewing a rolled hem and teaching me about using a sewing spider!! NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE.... SUCH A CLEVER SUGGESTION!!! THANK YOU!
Very informative and easy-to-follow tutorial, thank you so much for posting this!!
You touched on all my questions and concerns. Love that you used different fabrics and a curve. Thank you!
Try to cut the very tip of the fabric on an 1/8 of an inch angle makes feeding the beginning easier
Thank you soooo much. I just could not wrap my brain around how to fold this!!! I had to rewind yours a few times, but success!!
+Paul Schindler excellent 😊
Thank you very much for this tutorial 😊 ❤ it has saved me a lot of sweat and headaches 🤗
This is the only video that helped me 🥰
Great to see an expert using an affordable machine like mine!
Excellent instructions and video. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you for your time I will be trying your trick with the spider ..

Excellent and clear! The sewing spider was new to me , but makes such sense.

Excellent ! Nicely explained 👍👍😊
Thanks, Babs. I love the "whirly gig" ! That's as technical as gets for me.
Very good demonstration of the process. Thank you!

Babs thank you so much for this video I love that you showed when things went wrong too! So informative!

This is exactly what I needed for the edge of delicate ballet skirts! Thank you!
What you do is, take a few stitches, then pull out your thread far enough to get your hand around - then feed your fabric through the hemmer with your right hand, while pulling on (guiding) the threads from the back, with your left hand.
Wow thank u so much for being a life saver just learning how to use this and now am good at it.
An easy thumbs up / like. Especially easy listen without gratuitous background music distracting.
You have a lovely tone, and your tutorial is the best, easy to follow and helpful.🍹

I feel confident to try this now. Thanks.
This is really useful for me. I am wondering if there needs to be a specific technique for a seamed edge?
Very helpful Babs, thanks. I've got the same set of feet to get used to. x

I trying to learn to see a rolled hem on a towelling material. Any tips please?
very good
Should I use the 6mm size foot to get a bigger finished hem? What's the difference between the 3mm and the 6mm? Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson, Ms Babs Rudlin. Salam from Indonesia.. :-)
Very nice
ohh.. I just woke up.. its been 2 hrs.. ur vdo just made me sleep
I actually prefer not to start with the tail alluded to below; Babs' technique allows for sufficient control. I use a tiny screwdriver from an old Elna machine to guide and coax the fabric edge.

+pnuts4sean You stop sewing. Backstitch twice and go forward to the starting stitch and stop. Hope that helps.
Thank you.
You hem before you sew the side seams allowing your fabric to go all the way through
Take the foot off of the skirt when your almost to the end and the just finish your straight stitch with putting it through the feed.
Please share the video to set 🙏 the tensions according to the different types of clothes and to set the tensions according to the different types of pressure foot.I have Juki sewing machine
would this be the best way to hem my chiffon prom dress?
+Madison Loder Either this for a subtle hem or a bound edge for a dramatic statement.
I found when using this foot on satin that if you hold the fabric in a double fold that it feeds more easily and stops it from pulling out so much. effectively you are holding the fabric in the position you want it to come out as and stops raw edges from peaking through!
Excellent suggestion thank you.
Thank you for this you make it look simple. I'm still trying to master this foot. X
Oh thanks for the video is nice and clear! 😍
For clarification; are you saying "sewing starter' or 'sewing spider'? Thanks!
Gave me a really good idea of how it works, but when you were feeding the fabric through with the pin we couldn’t see anything because your fingers were blocking the view of where you were working. Still helpful. How are you
I have the foots but how can I get the tool to attach the foot my machine doesn’t have it .
Another help with the curves is to set longer stitches
What exactly is a sewing spider? Any old piece of fabric?
It helps to make a thread tail to help ease the fabric through to start with.
Wonderful video, thanks for the share. (I love your accent, mine is TX hick from the sticks....lol)
So a rolled hem only folds it over once?
Babs, on what type of garments is a rolled hem the better choice?
MzKFoster I would suggest using a rolled hem on any edge of a lightweight fabric, an over lay for a skirt/dress, a gauzy sleeve etc. Also the bottom curved hem of a man's shirt is traditionally finished with a rolled hem. This is the reason I demonstrate how to use this type of hem on a curve. This type of hem would be tricky to use with an uneven fabric such as a lace.
