  • This roll hem answers a question one of my students had when we were in the study collection at the Fashion Institute of Technology recently.
    P.S. TO THOSE WHO PRESUME TO COMMENT ON MY FINGERNAILS BEING TOO LONG--DON'T. I use my nails when sewing. So stop it please.

    I don't often feel compelled to leave a comment on RUclips videos. But I wanted to personally thank you for doing this tutorial. Camera angles were really good, your instructions were extremely clear and concise. Even though I've never tried something like this before, I feel prepared with enough information to give it an attempt and have a decent outcome. Thank you much for taking the time to do the tutorial.

    This is the best tutorial I think I've ever seen on RUclips. Never once did I feel as if I didn't understand something, every single camera view was perfect to show the specific instructions and results, and the explanations were so concise there left no room for misunderstanding. You have an absolute gift for teaching, sir. Thank you so much for this!

      @@user-oo8ei4lj6s seriously, a lot of the times these things are being sewn by underpaid laborers in workshops. Next time you put any clothing on appreciate how well made it is and the fact that every stitch was by a human hand somewhere regardless of how cheap your clothes are.

      ​@andromeda6477not so, my grandmother was great designer, it was those day about complete garderobes, all in certain style, she was known 300 km away, but i saw her bisy with jacket sleaves stitch by stich, she never left that to others, so many fine work, its not valued anymore nowadays

      This is an excellent tutorial. Many years ago, I made my daughter a flower girl's dress for my brother in laws wedding. He brought me the pattern and fabrics. I had no idea how to sew with sheer fabric, satins, or which needles to use. But with his encouragement, I played with scraps of each fabric and tried different needles and threads until I was ready to start making the dress. Back then, there was no RUclips to refer to, like this video, for a hem for the chiffon layers. I tried the usual foled hem, but that looked awful! I tried several different hemming stitches on my machine until I found that the zigzag stich would draw the edge of the fabric into the stich, rolling it quickly. But this left some frayed threads peeking out. So I cut the 12 yards of these threads and went over the edge a second time with the zigzag stich, making it look clean and like I knew what I was doing. I was so proud of my work. I even received a compliment from the family "seamstress" of, "Oh, you used a french rolled hem." Or at least I think it was a compliment. Which I answered with a very faint, "Ahumm!" And said nothing about my struggles. I would have really benefited from this video back when making the dress. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I enjoyed the video and the memories it brought back for me.

    When I watch vids like this, it mks me appreciate all the more when I do come across fine craftsmanship such as this. Many ppl hv absolutely no clue what goes into crafting such a fine garment. It's difficult I think these days to find a quality piece that's actually worth the price and doesn't just "look good". Couture is an underrated art.

    Thank you! This technique produces a beautiful result, and I really appreciate the camera angle of you sewing the second pass. I could really see where you inserted the needle in the left-most position just to the left of the first pass seam, and then could see the needle extending over the edge of the seam when descending in the right-most position. For a visual learner, this was perfect! Grazie!!
