Thanks! I am short and my mom who used to love doing this for me passed away last year in November now I have her lovely sewing machine and I am teaching myself this video makes it very easy and informative! Thanks!
I just found this video, thank you so much for posting it! I'm overweight AND short, and of course, clothes designers assume if you're overweight, you must be at LEAST 5'5"! It's nearly impossible to find any clothes that fit me properly, so I took the plunge, bought myself a sewing machine, and I'm learning to make alterations. Your video was simple and easy to understand!
First time seeing an advanced sewing machine like yours since I started sewing with a Singer Featherweight. Very impressive technology. Thanks for sharing!
The prep work done right is so important. (Getting the folds right). Thanks for explaining with measuring and marking. I’m off to get a light and dark marking pencil today. 😊
Thank you for this easy to follow, straight to the point video about hemming jeans! I hummed and hawed for about three weeks as I had to have a pair of black jeans but they only had the long length. I had to wear them for an event this weekend so I bit the bullet and shortened them on Friday. They turned out perfectly 😊. Can’t thank you enough!
This video was great. I have been winging it years, and my pants are all different lengths. I loved this video. One tip: I always use a walking foot when I hem. Now I know the proper way to approach hemming pants. Thank you ❤🎉😊 soooo much ❤️ ❤🎉
You are simply THE BEST. Easy to follow you. I’ve had my sewing machine for 18 years. This is the first time I used it. I hemmed my 96 yr old dad’s pants. Not great but definitely wearable 😅. Thank you so much for your great video
You didn’t mention to use a denim needle. I think it’s important as it helps to prevent needles breaking especially as most denim nowdays is much thicker and stiffer. Also, it would be helpful to show people the little ‘tool’ that can help machines go over a thick seam without skipping stitches.
Very informative! Thank you! Also, I don't know about your machine, but mine has a little compartment that holds my sewing feet, ect, in the front of the machine, that can be completely removed. When removed, you would be able to put the whole pant leg around and under the needle area, making the sewing process for something like this much easier. Does yours have this?!
I’m a 33 year old man. Never thought I’d need to look this video up but here we are. Home ec was too long ago, needed to refresh my knowledge 😅 I bought some pants for work and they are premium, and I mean EXQUISITE work pants, just actually have correct sizes. I normally wear 32/32 but with my experience, most brands measure about a half inch short so i ordered a 34 length. Any who. Truwerk pants for any contractor, laborer workers out there . Best pants ever. Just a suggestion, the background music is painful to listen to, try puttting some LOFi music for background music. Thank you for the help .
Ok I don't think I belong here cuz this is definitely not the beginner class.......I bought the sewing machine on Amazon and stop....that's my educational sewing level....I don't even know half of the words she's using....wait....ooo...HEM! She said a word I know.....kinda 🙋♂️🤦♂️ this isn't going to be easy it 😅😅😅
Thank you so much for this! So clear and easy to follow, and my hems came out absolutely perfect. Really grateful for your video and how concise it is, thank you! ^ ^
@@goodhousekeepingHi Amanda, I'm new to sewing and love your video. Can you please direct me on what type and where to purchase the scissors that you are using? Thanks!
I agree with you. I don’t know why it’s necessary to put music in the background when they are talking. A lot of these people who share their knowledge has music in the background. Honestly, they don’t need it. It’s so annoying and frustrating to listen to them talk and to try and filter out the background noise.😢
Thanks for making such a helpful tutorial. Is there a particular reason that you didn't use the free arm on the machine? Does it make a difference to the results?
I would’ve taken the accessories box off personally. Definitely easier to have the whole leg open around the machine that way you don’t accidentally catch the back side of the pants and have to rip out stitches.
Hello. Very helpful tutorial. Would love to know what model Brother sewing machine you have. I plan on sewing thick fabrics (machine quilting) and I think you said that your machine works well with thick fabric -- at least for the jeans you hemmed in the video.
Question: I had tailor hemmed my docker pants was too long. I noticed after hemmed, there was creases. It's not flat or smooth. It's that normal. Thank you for any suggestions.
i used duct tape lol works temporary , but that temporaryness is still there after two years I just had to reapply new duct tape lol I don't have thread and I don't have an iron and I'm too lazy to do it and learn.. mom used to take care of it, but she's gone now ,, it sucks because it would pull my leg hair...lol
as a tailor for 60+ years, your title should read-how to shorten pants, as they already have been hemmed...also, when trying pants on to determine correct length, it they are pants that require a belt, it is a must to belt them so that will be pulled into the correct position that the wear will eventually be wearing them in ..........
I tried to hem my uniform trousers yesterday before I saw this video. See I did everything you did but it came out so wonky :( The seam was all wiggly and then one leg was longer then the other one. No idea what I did wrong but I felt really upset :(
I have seen pants that are too long on The Red Carpet. I have had to make my own clothes, alter hand-me-downs, and store bought dresses, pants, or anything else is a luxury. I can’t believe people would wear their pants too long, dragging on the ground, sidewalk, parking lot, and street getting filthy dirty. No telling what ppl are picking up off of the ground as they walk, and taking it with them.
I wish I could finish watching all this video. I didn’t because the so called “music” playing on background is more than annoying. Please don’t play sounds like that if you want more viewers.
There was a one second break between songs, and I had a moment of inner peace with the universe.
😂
I hadn't really noticed the music until I read your comment. Now it's all I can hear. 😂

Thank you for the video! This saved me, and my expensive new pair of pants that I mended at home- for the first time ever.

Thanks for your video. It is great that your method makes the new hem matches with the original hem

BRILLIANT thanks for showing how to turn up hems on Jeans ......
Fantastic. Thank you. This is one of my favourite videos. I want to start doing things at home and a total beginner, and really appreciate this. : )

remove the extension table on the machine before sewing, you will have a MUCH easier time hemming

I love that background music. So bouncy!
Thank you ❤
SO helpful!
Music background makes me feel rushed
Thank you for this video
Thank you!
Thank you for such a great tutorial! Helped me out a lot!
You're very welcome!
@@goodhousekeepingHi Amanda, I'm new to sewing and love your video. Can you please direct me on what type and where to purchase the scissors that you are using? Thanks!
It saves time as well
You have a very informative video about hemming pants, but, the background music is SO ANNOYING 🙄
If you could lower the music, it would be great❤
😆
I don't usually agree, but the music is indeed too loud and thus distracting

@@josephinegunning3027 THANK YOU ❗️
Thanks Amanda. I can never find overalls in my length, and I'm tired of just rolling them up.
Thank you I will try it now

Great tutorial 👍🌺🌱🌻🪴🏵🌳🌷
Thank you 🙏 but I wish you showed us your final results and how the new golden stitch looked like on the pants
Very clear instructions and informative, I couldn’t wait till it ended though , the music was annoying
You are great, thank you!
Question: I had tailor hemmed my docker pants was too long. I noticed after hemmed, there was creases. It's not flat or smooth. It's that normal. Thank you for any suggestions.
nice vid, thank you
I have exactly the same pins 😁
Awesome tutorial
i used duct tape lol works temporary , but that temporaryness is still there after two years I just had to reapply new duct tape lol I don't have thread and I don't have an iron and I'm too lazy to do it and learn.. mom used to take care of it, but she's gone now ,, it sucks because it would pull my leg hair...lol
I learned a lot! Thanks!
I rather do it this way, it is much better than those so-called Pro hemming.
Nice job. But I’m curious; isn’t the left of your machine by the needle removable? If so, That would make sewing easier.
as a tailor for 60+ years, your title should read-how to shorten pants, as they already have been hemmed...also, when trying pants on to determine correct length, it they are pants that require a belt, it is a must to belt them so that will be pulled into the correct position that the wear will eventually be wearing them in
..........
What model of brother sewing machine is this?
hi any tips for speed and control , i sew like i drive pedal to the metal! lol
Where did she gets the pins from??? They’re so cute and look easier to find when I drop them on carpet 😂
Im 43 ,i thpught i knrw how to hem turns out Ive been doing it wrong .point being Thank you and I wish you lots of luck in the futire❤
I like the instruction, but the music was distracting.
I tried to hem my uniform trousers yesterday before I saw this video. See I did everything you did but it came out so wonky :( The seam was all wiggly and then one leg was longer then the other one. No idea what I did wrong but I felt really upset :(
Do I need a heavy duty sewing machine to hem denim jeans pants? Can anyone please help im confused
I bought a 32x32 pants but it's to long I wanna cut it two inches shorter to be 32x30 the width is fine so I don't worry about that
What is that background grid the pants behind the pants?
Very nice but please no music is much better
I have several pairs of pants that I need to take up the hem. I think I can handle this, can't I!?
what is a sewing machine for non-pro folk? I'm just some dude with a pant that's too tall.
Wondering why she didn’t remove that part of the sewing machine so she can just place the leg comfortable on the machine and sew in a round🤷🏽♀️
What kind of machine is that
So what stitch did she use? She didn't say which one
Hi Amanda! I'm a man. Will I still be able to do this?
Nope, you're S.O.L.
No. This is for women only. If you try to do it you will spontaneously combust and be removed from the US Census
she doesnt expect you to have an iron but she does expect you to have a sewing machine lol
You can save all the money: $8.
Please don't use music. Can't concentrate it's so distracting. Thank you.
I enjoyed learning but I couldn’t cope with that background noise
Ive had my pants shorten but now they have like a bell bottom which i dont like
Ty but that music was too much.
Lower the music please.
4'11
Very nice video but the music is very disturbing and annoying
Trousers
No wonder small asian children be missing fingers
Losing my mind at the us defaultism, the rest of the world doesnt use inches 😊
Just google the conversion 😂

Racist against Italians

Ahhhh that music is so distracting
Sorry I couldn’t watch this for the annoying music!
the background music is very distracting and completely unnecessary!
Argh thought this was simple but no
"Make sure you're keeping it as straight as possible" wow not the kind of video that I expected to find random homophobia in
Lol… show us your finished product.
