How to Sew a Fine Very Narrow Rolled Hem on Sheer Fabric - 2 Methods How to hem lightweight fabric
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Have you ever struggled with hemming lightweight or sheer fabrics? Did you think that you had to use a special rolled hem foot?
This may be the tutorial you've been looking for! In this video, I show you how I sew 2 different very narrow rolled hems on sheer chiffon fabric. These methods are are just as easy, if not even easier when used on organza.
All you need is a straight stitch machine for method 1 and a machine that has a zig zag stitch for method 2.
Give them as try. I am very confident that you will love the results!

I've been sewing for 50+ yrs and have never seen a narrow gem done this way. Love how easy you made it look. Thank you!
it will be a breeze for you!😊. Hope you love it.
Thank you all for watching. If you could please do me a favour and hit Subscribe and turn on all Notifications, it will help me more than you know 😊, Have you ever struggled with hems on sheer or lightweight fabric or you don’t have a serger?
@@NotchesSewing Thanx dear 💕
@@NotchesSewing I had to have the dress for my daughters wedding and it was a sheer overlay, I used my surgery, but at the wedding it pulled out, and I had a little bit of a mess
@user-td5mx3dg8n these methods are much stronger than roll hemming on serger. I can literally pull hard on the hems with my fingers and not l pulling out. The first edgestitch really helps to make it stronger. Thanks for watching😊
@@NotchesSewing I followed you is that the same thing?
If you hit the Subscribe button under the video, then yes.
I knew about the flat hem, but that's the first time I've seen it done with a curved hem. It sounds silly, but a curved hem is intimidating, so this is awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching😊
OMG! This video came up in my feed and JUST in time. I'm a novice sewist and have a project with a fine silk. I was wondering how on earth to sew without it looking a mess. This video provided the answer in clear, completely understandable/followable instructions. Thank you!
Great! Please be sure to watch my video on how to sew perfect corners with sheers too😊
@@NotchesSewing Thank you! I've subscribed, too, and was planning to go through your videos to see others that would apply to this project, so I appreciate the "heads up" re the corners.
Thank you😊
I am watching from the UK and I never dared to hem those fragile fabrics. I might give it a go and follow your tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
Hello from Down Under! Yes please give it a try. It is not as scary as you think. 🙂
I have watched a few videos about sewing fine rolled hems and I must say yours is the best. You are very clear and concise, your filming is spot on and you have a lovely voice. Well done and thank you.
Thank you so much Noreen😊🙏
Wow I think I learn something new from you each time I watch you 👏
Awesome! Thank you!
Watching from the UK. Your tutorials are so good, I wish they’d been available to me years ago when I was being adventurous, but they’re still so helpful, thank you for sharing with us 😊
Hello from Australia! Thank you for your kind words. It's never too late to be adventurous🙂
I'm a 58 years old men watching from Algeria, i spend my life to learn averything or almost and these days i'm interrested of sewing just out of curiosity. I even already ordered a sewing machine (Can you believe it ?).
I'm quiet impressed by the finishing of the last pass. Well and clearly explained.
Thank you.
You are not old! I hope you love your new machine😊
@@NotchesSewing Thank you, i do love it.
Great! Try some of the projects on my channel. Enjoy your sewing journey.😊
@@NotchesSewing Thanks, i'll need to buy some fabric first.
btw, is there a playlist for a very beginers ?
❤ thank you for the wonderful lesson.
Just this week I was working with chiffon and had to overlock but your method is quicker and neater.
I am from South Africa
Hello from Australia 🙂. I wanted to show methods just on a basic machine as I know not everyone will have a serger to do that type of roll hem. Thanks for watching!
I am watching from New Zealand. I have been sewing for many years. Even with these tricky fabrics. But I still learned something. Thank you
Great! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Thank you thank you THANK YOU 😭
I'm currently working on a dress with gorgeous sheer fabric and was totally stumped on how it wanted to be hemmed. This method is perfect. I'm learning as I go and your vids are so easy to understand and so comforting at the same time. Like a fairy godmother for sewing 💖 thank you again
Aw that’s so sweet of you. Have you marked the hem yet? Best to mark around onto the floor with the dress on the wearer. That way it will be level all around. Have fun and let me know how you go. Practice on scraps first!!
@@NotchesSewing haven't marked the hem yet, but I'll be sure to have my sewing assistant (my fiance) help!
That's beautiful! So much better to start with a big hem allowance then to fiddle with the small ones! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Yes that little bit of extra hem will save a lot of time and frustration.
OMG - I have struggled with this for so long, and you made this as simple as pie!
Thanks for watching. Please give it a try and let me know how you go😊
@@NotchesSewing- Most definitely going to try and I’ll let you know. Thanks again.
OMG I have a brother machine and for the longest time never knew how to get the needle all the way to the right. I always thought that button was only for adjusting stitch width on zigzag. I am 55 and been sewing a long time but on my newish brother F420 (3 years old) I never thought I could adjust the needle position for straight stitching. Seems so obvious now and I have no idea why I didn't figure that out. Numerous google searches never helped me.
I am in Vic Australia and the second hem you showed is awesome. I love the decorative edge it makes. Thanks so much.
lucky for you I am a bit older than you and maybe know a bit more lol!😂 Have a good read of your manual in case there’s anything else you may be missing out on.
New Hampshire. Wow! Thank you! I bought a hemming foot...Do you think I can get a hem right? NO. I want to hem receiving blankets. Can't wait to try this method!
I rarely use hemming feet but they are definitely great when you are batch sewing. I find they can be awkward going over seams....
Australia. Best and MOST HELPFUL video ever!!! Thank you
I should add, that the settings on a different machine make it s bit harder to het right...but we'll get there...lol
Thank you from Aus as well! Yes I stuffed around with settings for half a day when I originally did these hems……🤪
WOW, I literally was looking at my silk scarf over my lamp wondering how they get that seam so elegant & precise, then 10 minutes later I'm scrolling RUclips and there you were. My Angels 😇 were listening 🙏❤ Thank you
You are so welcome! It’s so weird when things like that happen😊. ( Most likely the scarf was hemmed with a special roll hem foot or sewn by hand)
First method.
I learned this method in Korea. They call it Kkeki. But they have three passes of stitching per seam. And they are incredible. Such thin seams!
Thank you for showing me a reminder of how it’s done!
Thanks for sharing!
I have NEVER seen the second method! So clever!
Thanks for watching🙂
Thank u so much..u made my life so much easier, i almost gave up on all the silk and chiffon i wanted to make up. From Sunny South Africa.x
Wonderful! Glad I could help😊
Greetings from The Netherlands. Thanks for the great tutorials.
Hallo from Australia! Thanks so much for watching😊
You always have clear instructions and make the most intricate sewing methods look doable. Ty!
You can do it!🙂
Je suis du Canada,de la ville de Québec et j’aime beaucoup vos explications
Bonjour d'Australie ! Je suis aussi Canadienne 😊. Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé 🙏
Thank you for this video! I hemmed some organza sheets years ago, very badly. They're so light and slippery. I have a very old 60's Bernina machine but did the best I could. Unfortunately, or fortunately my cat ripped them. I've now moved and want the same lovely two tone organza sheers up. My poor cat's not around anymore 😞 either. So seeing this video has sparked my inspiration to tackle these hems again, with my ancient Bernina which still purrs like a kitten. I'm looking forward to putting, or rather adapting your method 😁
You’re so welcome😊. Have fun!

@@cynthiacatnott9012 jealous!! Hello from hurricane Debbie in NC USA!
Thank you from Australia!🙂
I am a beginner in sewing and this is great info I Have not sewn any fabric as such before thanks
You are so welcome! Have some fun practicing on some scraps.😊
Thank you for sharing. I have not tried the second technique, but I look forward to trying it on a future project.
Great tutorial. I’m going to try this! Watching in Jacksonville, Florida
Hello there in Florida! Thanks from Australia 😊
Excellent video. Very clear instructions. The photography is amazing. Thanks!
Thank you!😊
Wow. This is an impressive technique. I struggle with all hems!!
Glad you like it🙂
Thank you for sharing. I have worked with sheer fabric and done a similar technique, however, I think yours looks better so I'll be doing that in future. Many thanks from North Wales UK.
Hello from Australia! Thanks so much for watching. I am sure you will be happy with result.😊
Wow ❤
Very nice video, clear and concise, that's how it's done!
Much appreciated!
This has been very helpful. I don't have a modern machine, but I now know what effects to aim for. Your videos are always so clear. Thanks so much!
You don't need a modern machine to do these hems. Have fun!
Hi, Namibia next to South Africa I’m enjoying sewing as n hobby but I have n lot to learn thanks Joyce
Hi Joyce! I’m imagining beautiful bright orange desert😊 You never stop learning with sewing. Hope you give this a try.
Watching from Blue Ridge Texas. Sheer rolled hems have been the bane of my existence, having to resort to hemming by hand. I can’t wait to try this technique. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hello from Australia! Hand rolled hems are beautiful but take a lot of time….. I’m confident you’ll love these techniques. Also have a new tutorial later about how I sew really nice corners with these fine hems. Stay tuned!😊
Gosh you make it look so easy, Tks for showing how to do this. I always have evening gowns to hem, and it’s never pleasant. But will try your method....❤❤❤❤
I hope these methods make it a bit more pleasant!😊
Ohh, thanks a lot! Just to have some extra fabric really does the trick! Never thought of that..I just seem to fiddle around with nect to nothing seam allowance, no wonder that does not work out!
Yes it takes quite a bit of practice to only turn a tiny amount of fabric and have a nice result …. This is so much easier if you don’t like fiddling around. Please give it a try on some scrap. I think you’ll love it!😊
The second one is looking great. I will have to try it. Thank you.
Have fun!
Thank you so much for these tips. I am putting them to use emmeditely. From South Africa 🇿🇦
Hello from Australia! Thanks for watching and let me know how you go😊
Thank you so much. I will definitely try it. Years ago I had a dress I quit finishing it for that reason that I struggled with this hemming . Now I need to find the dress!
Go for it!
Watching from cairo Egypt , thanks for sharing
Hello from Australia😊. Thanks for watching!
Thank you this will come in so handy for the dresses I have to do.
Wonderful!
Auckland, New Zealand. Excellent video. Thanks
Hello from Australia. Thanks for watching😊
I don't sew, but I love your voice! 😍
So nice of you!
Watching from the Netherlands. I prefer a rolled hem made with my overlock machine!
Hello from Australia! Thanks for watching. Yes the rolled hem on a serger is fantastic. These are great methods for those who don’t have a serger or don’t want a solid line of coloured stitching along the hem.
Great tutorial! I have been sewing for 50 years and this is good work. I'm in Norway.
Hello from Australia! Thank you so much.🙂
Thank you for always giving clear and helpful tutorials. I have learned so much from watching your videos.
Watching from Tampa, Florida.
Awesome! Thank you!
Things are so easy when you know how! I have loads of shear fabric that I bought as a cheap job lot. It ended up at the back of the cupboard unused because I couldn't for love nor money hem it. So grateful for this tip!
That's great as you'll have lots to experiment with🙂
What a great video! And your description and voice are excellent! Thanks!
Thank you! Very kind of you 🥰
Thank you so much, as an avid sewer I learned so much from your sharing! With love, Bee from South Africa.
Hi from Australia! Thanks so much Bee😀
Subscribed!
I’ve learnt so much from your helpful instructions. The pinning down to anchor the fabric is a very good technique. Can’t wait to try
Thanks for subbing!😊
Very interesting video! I never knew how narrow hers were done. With a little practice and your help I think I'll be able to do it. Thanks! Watching from Wisconsin.
Hi from Australia! There are other methods and special presser feet but you won’t run into any problems with these methods. Have fun!😊
Alabama, USA here. Yes, I have wrestled with hemming sheer fabrics. I did a passing job but I wasn't happy. I wish I had known your tips! Thank you for sharing, Angela.❤
Hi from Australia Mary! You’re very welcomed. It really helps to mark a hem leaving that 1” or so to fold over and have something substantial to hang onto when cutting. Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you so much. Looking the way you do it seems so easy and so clean.
Yes it is. Have fun!
Excellent tutorial!!! I always look forward to your videos, as they are very informative and very well done. Thank you!!!
You're very welcome! Thank YOU for watching🙂
Good to know . . . you make it look so easy! Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I love your videos. You make things look so easy. Thank you.❤
Thanks Wendy. I do a lot of testing and experimenting to make as easy as possible.🙂
Precious teachings! I'll try them, thanks a lot!
Please do! Thanks for watching😊
Beautiful! So clear and easy to understand.
Glad you think so!🙂
Thank you, that was amazing, and close enough that I could see it. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watching from the Netherlands, learned something new just now, but also about my machine. I think I have an older, simpler Brother model, but I don't often change settings much, I'll experiment more. Oh, and I subbed. Been sewing a lot this summer.
Hello from Australia! Thanks for subbing. Have fun experimenting 🙂
I am from Ohio and I love how you did this hem. I would have never thought to do it this way. Thanks
Hello from Australia. You are so welcome!
I love the way you explain so calmly and clearly so easy to follow thankyou
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you so much for making this so much easier for us. I try to avoid these types of fabrics because it’s so hard to hem. You have now shown us an amazing way to do it. Thank you for sharing. I’m in country Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
@@jeaninecoe5012 thanks so much for watching😊
Never worked with sheer fabrics, but I just bought 2 and look forward to try and use them as sleeves! Thanks for your video!
(my machine can't adjust the needle location, but I think I can still make it work!) 😊
You can do it! I suggest you practice on a bit of scrap first 😊
Bonjour !😀 I am watching your video from France 🇫🇷 Normandy . Thanks a lot for these two tecnics. I was always struggling with this kind of hem. I am looking forward to apply your tecnics.

Hi.
I’ve watched what you came up with as neat rolled hem on a sewing machine using straight stitch.
Is not bad actually.
It’s something to consider even though it takes a long time.
I found myself struggling with thin fabrics în order to find a neat and thin edge hem, and I discovered one on my sewing machine using zig zag stitch ( obviously I’ve been playing up with the sizes and lengths of the foot until I found the perfect look ) but it pleased me at the end. It doesn’t look obvious and is neat.
On the corners, I started way further down the fabric corner and the end of the stitch I left some thread a bit longer. Now starting on the next corner I hold the long threads from the previous corner and stitched a little bit along the tread before I came on the fabric itself. That made the corner a bit longer but when I cut it I used a lighter to burn the excess and yes. I was pleased.
It takes some practice but will eventually get there at the end.
Even myself I spoiled a couple of fabric sides until I’ve learned it well.
😉🤗
Practice is always the best practice😊. Thanks for watching. I usually cut fabric and can turn a very tiny fold without needing to trim at all but I wanted to show how to do for beginners.
Thank you! Great tutorial! And on the plus side I finally know what duck bill scissors are for 😊.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Super stitches. Trinidad
Hei from Finland🇫🇮 Thank you , now I know how to do that thin hem 😊

Thank you! 😊
The hemming of fine fabrics has been a mystery to me until now (how do they do it?). Thank you. I am no longer in the dark of how this is done! :) Watching from the UK.
there are other methods but this is best for beginners and I find it is better than using tiny roll hem foot when going over the seams.
Very valuable information, clearly communicated. I'm subscribing.
Awesome, thank you!😊
Beautiful. Love both rolled hem methods BUT I already know I'll probably struggle with them! 😂
Thank you. Give it a try with some scraps and you'll be surprised how easy it is with a bit of practice. Make sure you have good scissors and think small! It is most important that hems are sewn and trimmed as narrow as possible.🙂
@@NotchesSewing yes will definitely give it a go and let you know how I get on 😊👍
