Thank you so much ! I consider myself not bad at all with rolled hem for having done it many times and still do., but I must admit that I'll try the technique that you first sew, cut and sew again. Yep !!! ❤️
I have watched a dozen videos so far about how to hem a circular (piece of) fabric and none was as good, as comprehensive, as helpful as yours! God bless you!
Thank you for sharing so much useful information. I have to hem my daughters bridesmaid dress, when I have never done anything like this before, and you have helped give me some confidence starting this project.
Absolutely an excellent video, showing exactly what to do, what not to do, and how to avoid/fix problems. Best how-to I've found! You achieved your goal of the best rolled hem video out there.
Very helpful, my go to hem is the two step. I pin the floor then without ironing I hem with the fabric folded a couple of cm lower than the pins. Then cut, fold and stitch the narrow rolled hem. This works so well for me on the big ball gowns and really all formalwear. I do exactly the same techniques every time leading to consistent super narrow hems Most of the brides and prom girls I sew for want the hem sweeping the floor and this works well. I find cutting the fabric first and folding as I sew difficult and time consuming. So many fabrics fray easily and I get the best result with sew-cut-sew.
Great video! And also your comprehensive rolled hem video. I've been sewing as long as I can remember. Doing a hand rolled hem on a little bandana for a granddaughter today. The only way to hem a circle is to go with the curve! I don't think I have ever heard anyone else mention using your left hand to keep tension on the material. I've kinda figured it out myself and will use both hands at times to keep the tension I want in the direction I want rather than just supporting or guiding the fabric. You just have to do what works!
i had to make my prom dress in 2018 in the span of two weeks and the photos looked great but once you looked under the tulle and saw the lining of the satin skirt.... oh man what an utter DISASTER. this has definitely helped me learn why it looked so bad tho and what I can do to fix it!! so thank you so much this was so incredibly informative!!!
Good morning I like to know what seeing machin do you use I know is a juky but I like to know what model I do alterations I have a table mashing I’m going for my professional machine but they are so many I wonder if you can share whit me that info thank you I love your videos very helpful thank you 😊
@@BridalSewing thank you! My mom is a seamstress and quilter, but I haven't sewn in 10 years. She's usually sleeping when I'm sewing and I'm currently stuck on transitioning around a 90° corner, going from a straight edge to a curved edge. 😅 I love how thorough your videos are, you end up answering every question I have. ❤
Dayum, your videos are so satisfying! Hehe, but can you do a full circle hem by using the first method which you mentioned it as one path. I practiced it for awhile but I could only managed to do 1/4 circle perfectly while the other parts fold got bigger as I tried to sew it..🤣
I can do this to a full circle skirt, but I probably wouldn't start with that when learning. You may need to do a two-pass type of roll like I mention in this video.
I do a two step rolled hem but i do it a little different. It begins at the fitting. I mark the hem at the floor then use that line of pins to turn up the hem the desired distance off the floor. I do this to each layer. It does take time but i make it up when sewing. I press the pinned up hem up then i use that pressed crease line to keep track of the length. I then without cutting it off machine stitch the first row which is not on the fold. I roll the fold slightly to the left and stitch close to the new fold. Then i trim it close like you do. With bigger scissors in the palm of my hand. It gets faster with practice. Then turn again on the pressed crease line and sew second row. I never worry its not correct . And you can get a very narrow rolled hem.
Do you use different rolled hem presser feet? Mine looks very different. Is the foot you're using work better ? I'm very new to all of this. Thank you 😊
I think this was a great tutorial. Thank you. Once I saw someone in a video using what looked a lot like a loosely woven hair canvas only an inch or so wide. They removed the sharp threads a little way and used it to stitch over much like horsehair braid stitching first through the threads flat then double turning it and stitching again. Then they pulled it out and frankly the hem looked gorgeous. Do you know what this stuff is and have you ever tried it?
I've been using the band roll method now for a few months. I love it I've got to hem in a wedding dress down to 15 minutes.. it can get a little messy but they can be reused over and over again
Help!!! I have the stretchy knit hem. To p thread looks great. Bobbin. 😵💫it is a loopy hot mess. Used knit , Jersey, stretch, and ball point needle. Tightened and loosened bobo and tension. Not sure what else to do.
Great video, thank you. I commented yesterday about trying to raise the tulle/lace to make an empire waist. I wanted to see if you replied, but I am not sure which video it was on! I watched a bunch of them!
Hey, BST Besties! Do any of you ever use the dissolvable stabilizing? I saw this done many years ago and really don't use the technique. I linked to some type of product above, but honestly don't have a favorite. What is your favorite dissovable stabilizer, and how do you like to apply it, sew it, and dissolve it? Of course, if we can't find the exact wash a way product, when using this on, say, an ivory satin, you can always use a thin strip of iron on permanent light interfacing and leave it in the rolled hem. Again, this is just for worst case scenario.
I dont know the name of it because the pkg always gets tossed. But its see thru. I never use it for bridal. I always use it for suit sleeves. But it completely dissolves and you dont have to wash it. It might me Dritz but stitch witchery type stuff not stabilizer 😜
@@iheartbridalcouture5989 so it is a tape on a roll like stitch witchery, yet it dissolves in water? And does it have two parts like a wax paper layer you peel off after pressing, or do you press it like the interfacing, or is it sew-on? I hope we can find it.
@@BridalSewing Its on a roll and it dissolves with iron heat. But you wouldn't want to leave any part of it exposed because if you do it gunks up like cement glue does when you roll it off. I'll see if i can find it 😬
Its Dritz Fusible Bonding Web. Theres even a video showing how to use it lol. They say its for lightweight materials but I've used it on pants and suits a lot
@@iheartbridalcouture5989 oh, I don't think that what I'm looking for. The product I am looking for is like what you iron onto the backside of a shirt before you embroider it. Then you wash it and it dissolves. I hope I haven't started a wild goose chase! lol
Can you please tell me what is the name of that kind of iron you use. I see it in the dry cleaners but I don't know the name and where I can looking for. Thank you!.
Are you using a zipper foot? (I have tried both hemmer foot and regular foot have had only mediocre results. Working on a bias...😫) Your work is so nice! Thanks.
Hi, I just wanted to say that I love your video tutorials! I thought I knew almost everything but yet I’ve learned a few things. Thank you. I wanted to ask if you ever use rolled hem foot for rolling that tiny edge? This is all I use and almost never get those stubborn places. What is your experience with those
Bridal Sewing Techniques that’s what I find from quite a few professional sewers, and very often it depends on a quality of a foot but I love how fast I can have the job done. I will check out your other video. Thanks for your reply
Omg. I just bought 3 rolled hem presser foots I am making fabric napkins. I did one side perfectly. First try. Then each attempt after that nothing but problems!! I’m disappointed. Plus the width was not as promised.
I'll have to look that up. Is that where they use the heavy buckram that has a few rows removed, so it is like teeth along the long edge and they sewn that in as a guide and then slip it out?
Haha we could all be wrong and all be right! Lol that's the amazing thing about sewing. There's a thousand different roads that lead to a beautiful ending.
That was very nice. I use the same techniques, especially on satin type fabric, except for the last one with the interfacing. I'm just wondering if you ever use the narrow roll hem foot?
I have never used a gray filter. I def never put gray "over" the video?? Sometimes I will do a segment that is black and white, (color removed) and the contrast and sharpness is boosted while the shot is zoomed in, (magnified.) I am *very often* thanked for the clarity/detail boost that is given during those segments. This is my first and only complaint regarding this, so I def can't disappoint so many by no longer doing high contrast shots. Sorry! :) Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment?
@@BridalSewing OMG!! thanks so much for the quick reply. Yes thats what i mean.. the black and white (high contrast). I guess I'm the only one who finds more clarity and details in the color version. I find the black and white makes the areas where the light shines too bright and i cant see the detail. Sorry. I don't mean to be difficult. It's probably just my eyes. xoxox
No, I really get it! I actually personally see a lot of detail in full color as well. But it is true, everyone's eyes are different. It's been very interesting trying to teach to such a wide variety of people! That's why I try to change it up. That's the only way, really. Thank you for feedback, though. That's the only way over time to know if there's a pattern of trouble. ;)
I have a question that isn’t related to rolled hem, I hope it’s ok. I need to take in the sides of a bridesmaid gown and I cannot access the inside - there is no opening between the layers to get inside. I’ve never had this before. Should I just open it from the top?
There are a few different ways, (as usual!) 🤣 You can use the top if you like. Sometimes the waist lining seam is turned under and hand stitched. You can open there. Some seamsters open the lining's side seam & then hand sew that closed after.
Bridal Sewing Techniques Thank you! I’m not sure why this tripped me up, I’ve done plenty of advanced alterations. I just have always done THIS one way since it was always accessible through the opening that was provided LOL! I guess there’s a first time for everything! I appreciate it, and as always, thank you for sharing your talent! I look so forward to your videos!
Not only do your sewing tips look great, but your filming technique is also professional, atmospheric and gorgeous.
Thanks!! Did you see the Short I made responding to your lace eyelash question?

How would you roll a hem that's perpendicular to those two rolled hems on the strips? Would you do it the same way?
Great tips thanks

I have seen that. I thought it was buckram? To me, it seems unsustainable for regular use in a full time shop, though. But, you may love it! :)
@@BridalSewing I must agree- a bit labor intensive. However on a really tough wedding gown I might use it anyway.
Right!
