    I remember banroll waistbands on men’s trousers from decades ago. You would think it would be a more popular product. I recently asked for some at Fabricland and the staff had no idea what I was talking about.
    I love your videos. I have been sewing for about 60 years and I am learning all kinds of new tricks from you.

  • @sallyescrader1434
    @sallyescrader1434 Год назад +2

    OMG! You’ve just changed my life! For all the time I’ve been sewing, I’ve used a narrow overlock (one needle) then followed those stitches to fold the fabric. Although it’s perfect for mid-weight fabrics, it’s not as successful on chiffon, organza, etc. Using ban-tape will mean these lighter weight fabrics won’t have that added weight from extra stitching inside the hem. I have a customer’s chiffon gown to re-hem and am full of hope instead of dreading it!! Thank you so much. New subscriber from the U.K.

  • @rhonddalesley
    @rhonddalesley Год назад +11

    This stuff is magic, the only thing is to be really careful with really lightweight fabric. I managed a 3mm rolled hem on chiffon and it turned out fantastically but the little ‘hooks’ can get caught in the rest of your fabric and snag it. I also did my hem using 2 shorter lengths of ban rol because I found it was easier to handle than the 3 metre length I have

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  Год назад +3

      Yes! You are absolutely right. I try to be careful to avoid any accidents. Cheers 😊

    @Amritadivya54 Год назад +1

    I have been using your technique with the ban roll for narrow hems and I love it! No more fussy ironing the 1/4" turn and then again.Yuck!
    What I did to keep the ban roll useful for more repeated use is this: I painted on clear nail polish at the edge where the width-wise threads are sticking up(not on the edge of the sticking up part but at the woven part) This way I don't get more of the length-wise threads starting to "shedd" and come off when you don't want them to. It is keeping the ban roll nice and neat. Thanks so much!

Especially, cutting the used edge of your ban roll off a little way away from the edge. My brain is still not exactly on my shoulders and I cut it so it leaves tiny plastic bits all over the place! so I will definitely implement this method next time. Thank you as always for the amazing videos!
