I am so happy this popped up! I've been looking for Ban-roll for over a year. Thank you so much.👗
I have a good stock of 1" available at this time. Happy this has helped you!
Thank you for uploading this video. Helps me to upgrade my sewing skills.
So glad you feel that way. Help spread the word - I appreciate it when you tell your friends about my channel. Thanks!
Thank you! I just ordered some ban-rol and wasn’t quite sure how to use it in my waistband. This was clear and concise!
Glad it was helpful!
Really great tutorial!!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!
When I took couture classes, they had us sew gros grain ribbon to the waistband and then steam it into a gentle curve to better hug the waistline, finishing the waistband was done the same as your video.
That is also a great technique, but achieves a clean top edge, like a facing. This technique is to stiffen up an actual additional waistband that stands above the waistline seam.
I've been using Banroll wrong. This is so much a better technique than what I've been doing.
Thanks for posting this video.
Happy to help!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for very useful video
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making and sharing your videos. I don't recognize the black tool on the back of your sewing machine foot. It looks familiar to a walking foot. What is it called?
That was a Pfaff exclusive feature for YEARS - called Integrated dual Feed, and yes, like a walking foot - always there, and not as big and clunky! That dear machine has died - it is now a lamp in my studio, but OH, I miss it!!!
Is there an easy way to add this into the waistband of jeans without deconstructing them? I have a few pairs of jeans and trousers that always crinkle around the front part of the waistband and they look so tacky by the end of the day. I have very limited sewing skills so any recommendations you have for solving this problem, even if it means taking them to a seamstress, would be greatly appropriated. Thanks!
honestly, I don't think so without some dressmaking skills. The Ban-Roll is stiff and would not feel good against the skin. It needs to be encased in fabric.,,,I guess you could do tht by hand and stitch by hand inside the front of the waistband. Might be worth a try.
Is it possible to sew a buttonhole through the stabilizer as well or would hooks and eyes be the only option for closers?
I do believe that a buttonhole would work - with a very close satin stitch. You might also want to cut a rectangle out of the Ban-Rol at that location. It's just that the strong fibers of the Ban-Rol might poke through the buttonhole stitching, breaking those stitches. I'[ve generally used pant hooks and eyes.
Londa Rohlfing thank you!!

I've fixed this in the description now - thank you for brinigng to my attention.
@@londasews thank you very much. I appreciate your efforts. I would love to buy 10 yards of 1" banrol, but the shipping to Germany says 22,50$. That's sadly too much for me...
@@mibo4130 I'm sorry, but that is what it costs me.
At least for men pants, the extension would be on the other side, the good side of the waist band. So the extension is the one with the hook. Looks weird to have the waistband finish flush with the zipper opening. Like you ran out of fabric.
Thanks for your input. Exactly why we sew - to do things how we want them to look, eh?
@@londasews Oh sure, this just my opinion when I see it done the other way around. It just looks to me like fabric scarcity solution for some reason. Came out harsher 🙂
My machine: Nothing... nothing... topspeed 😔
