@Sandy Cheeks yes, I was not quite sure of that either. So glad it was clarified first comment. I feel sorry for people who don't read comments. Granted I probably won't read 500 comments, but I will check answers Downtown lady replies. Another great video.
I just tried this on a scrap, not being sure of which side should be up for the first step. So, now I know :) The product worked GREAT!! Thanks so much for sharing this video.
Another example of learning something new everyday! In 50 years of home sewing, i’ve never even heard of ban-roll. What a fabulous way to get a uniform narrow hem.
@@JessieJansen61 Ask your sewing supplier for buckram. Ban-Roll just a product brand name for buckram. My mother’s aunt made wedding gowns for wealthy society women back in the day. She used buckram (It is same as Ban-Roll).🧵😊💖
I love using Ban Roll! I do a lot of formal and bridal dress hems. This product makes a perfect hem every time, even on chiffon. Your video is excellent!!
Same here!! A rolled hem foot works great if it is just a flat piece of fabric, but if you are hemming a garment and there is a side seam it just does not work!! This is a much better option!!
How great is this! Does anyone know where I could purchase this in Australia? Shipping from the US is astronomical. I really need this in my life 🤣, thanks.
So glad I found your channel! My mom could sew anything and my grandma was a professional tailor but they never taught me so learning techniques from you makes my heart so happy! Thank you!
I did tailoring for almost 40 years and never knew this technique. Now I am retired and don't hem many things, but I am going to find something to try this on. Thank you for all of your videos. I wish I had known this years ago!
Beginner at sewing here! SO glad I'm in an age where talented folks like you can share their techniques for people like me :) Awesome, I can't wait to try this
OH. MY. GOD. HOW IS NO ONE ELSE TALKING ABOUT THIS!??!! Ive been searching for how to do tiny hems and this is the only one that i can do without 15 years tailoring experience! THANK YOUUUUU. ALL OF MY FORMAL DRESSES THANK YOUUU
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! This is THE BEST tutorial I’ve ever watched. I have always struggled with every method of rolled hems I’ve ever tried but this is literally the stuff of miracles. I have just successfully finished shortening a prom dress with three layers of chiffon and lining and if anything it looks better than the original hems. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I am so grateful to you. With love from the U.K.. xxx
Wow! This is beyond amazing 😍 Thank you so much for sharing your professional techniques. I can't wait to try this, I love a narrow hem but it's so fiddly and maddening!
Hi! I just wanted to stop by and mention that I purchased ban-roll from the company you mentioned in your information box. They had really good customer service and the ban-roll I received is perfect for the job. Thanks again for teaching us this technique for narrow hems.
I'm wishing that I could come shadow you for a few weeks and learn some of your nifty tricks and techniques. I just found your channel tonight, and have been binge watching. I've been making custom wedding gowns and have already learned a few tricks that would make my job easier. Thank you!!
@@christinehobbs6755 Hi Christine, I experienced this problem too. I think we can buy it as waistband interfacing here, but it has to be woven. Hope this helps.
Out of all videos "you will be shocked you didn't know that about sewing" or "brilliant trick for your sewing technique" yours is really helpful and brilliant. Thank very very much. I stabbed myself like a thousands times trying to keep my fabric in place while doing these small hems 😂. No more blood. Thank you again.
I hit the LIKE button only because there wasn't a LOVE button. I have NEVER seen this before. You are wonderful for sharing this and your explanation is so very easy to follow. Thank you!!
I purchased several foot hem foots and still don't know how to use them successfully and I've never heard of a ban roll tape this video is great I will be purchasing the ban roll tape in the future ☺️ thanks and God bless you.
Thanks so much! I love the ban-roll technique. If you want to get more familiar with the rolling feet as well, you can watch this video: ruclips.net/video/LxltkfK0QVQ/видео.html Cheers 🙂
I love the new technique you teach on your channel! It is so genius 💕 and I really enjoy listening to your voice not voice over by someone else 😊 Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this in my complex I sew a lot for this elderly couple and they are very picky about every thing well with this ban roll they are very happy I mean very happy with my sewing! Again thank you!
I think my jaw actually dropped!! What an awesome technique and perfect video! So glad I stumbled across this!! I can't wait for a new project to try this out. YAY!!!
Genius! I’ve used the sew, trim to stitch line, fold, sew, fold, sew, technique before with good results but it’s time consuming and still fiddly but this is just fantastic and a lovely finish. Thanks for sharing 👍🇳🇿👏
Oh wow. Thank you, thank you, for this video. I didn't know this product existed. I'm short so I always have to re-hem clothes I buy. This is going to make it so much easier to do curved narrow hems, especially on floaty fabrics. Definitely subscribing😊
You have me hooked. I have been sewing for 60 years and also quilting. This technique is wonderful. I need to hem a bathing suit with a narrow hem on stretchy fabric. I live in Florida and will try to find "Banrol" here. Thanks
AMAZING!!! And to think that I've had a roll of that stuff for years (got it for free from I can't remember where) and thought it was only good for waistbands! I can't wait to give this a try....now I just have to remember where I stashed that roll! :D
Ooooooh My God! Awww Hell yeeeeaaaaH! This is why Love sewing. Because when one comes across a beautiful person sharing. Tricks of the trade like this. HELLO GAME CHANGER ALERT PEOPLE!
Thank you! Thank you for this video! I had to a make a narrow hem on chiffon for a 21 foot veil train for a costume. This video saved me hours (days?) and my sanity.
thank you so much for sharing this! I can't get over how much easier this technique is than trying to do a baby hem (for me, anyway!) I just used it to hem some flutter sleeves with a 1/8" hem, and the end result is so beautifully uniform.
I loved this I could watch you all day being 5’2 and can not always fine petite sizes and I shop resale I can now alter my clothes and get a polished finished look thank you and looking at all your videos ❤
Holy cow! This is incredible. Ordering some Ban Roll asap. I'm a beginner and just did a narrow hem in a very unforgiving, lightweight fabric with a loose weave and it was tough. Never again! Thank you so much. 💜🙏🏼😎
I love the voice over, it’s informative and easy to follow. I have a question, once you use a piece of ban roll on one garment can you reuse the same piece on another garment? Thank you.
Thank you!!! Also, you absolutely can reuse it! It lasts a really long time for me before the little hairs wear out. If they do, you can just cut them off and prep the same strip!
I love this... do you sew on the " fringe" part of the ban-roll? I can't see the exact placement of the stitches. You videos are always enhanced by your lovely voice!
This technique is mostly used in Asia. I've seen French coutorières literally perfectly making this hems without any tool. You have to see it to believe it!
Well that would have worked if I had only noticed that the first step is on the RIGHT SIDE of the fabric. Dang.
Ups! Sorry 😞 I'm pinning this comment because it might help others.
@Sandy Cheeks yes, I was not quite sure of that either. So glad it was clarified first comment. I feel sorry for people who don't read comments. Granted I probably won't read 500 comments, but I will check answers Downtown lady replies. Another great video.

The product worked GREAT!! Thanks so much for sharing this video.
You're human! And sometimes we all learn best from our mistakes. Next time it will be perfect!
Can the ban-roll be reused more, than once?
Once the edges are a bit frayed do you cut the frayed edges off and make a new edge?
Another example of learning something new everyday! In 50 years of home sewing, i’ve never even heard of ban-roll. What a fabulous way to get a uniform narrow hem.
Same here. Now to find the banroll
@@JessieJansen61 Ask your sewing supplier for buckram. Ban-Roll just a product brand name for buckram. My mother’s aunt made wedding gowns for wealthy society women back in the day. She used buckram (It is same as Ban-Roll).🧵😊💖
Buckram @ Hobby Lobby, 2.99/yd for 20”!!! REGULAR PRICE! SCORE!!!😁
@@TheJudeJane Thanks for that explanation!
Same with me. 60 years and never heard of it. Don’t even know if I can get it in New Zealand
Another nice thing is that you can reuse the ban-roll until it is used up. Just trim a clean edge and begin again.
I was wondering about that. Awesome!
That was going to be my first question! Thank you 😀
Thank you, you answered my question before I could ask it...😊
I don't even trim mine until the edges start to look ragged. It's reusable for awhile :)
Ok, ty. I was going to ask
OMG, this technique is such a game changer!..
Thank you! It’s super helpful!
agreed! i had never heard of this before but i'm ordering some today!
Can I just say I appreciate you teaching techniques so clearly, especially the ones that most other sewing channels don't?
Wow! Thank you so much for this kind comment!
.........wow.....just....wow!!!! I've been machine sewing nearly all my adult life (I'm 58), and NEVER have I heard of Ban-Roll...but....wow!!
I learned something today after 35 years of sewing. Thank you.
I love using Ban Roll! I do a lot of formal and bridal dress hems. This product makes a perfect hem every time, even on chiffon. Your video is excellent!!
So it works on flaired or biased hems?
I started sewing 50 years ago!!!
I’ve NEVER seen a hem done with the ban roll technique! I love it! Amazing! “Ban roll” on my to buy list!
🥰🥰🥰
Wow! I’ve struggled for years trying to use the rolled hem foot on the machine. Thank you 🇦🇺
There you go! Easy peazy. 😊
Same here!! A rolled hem foot works great if it is just a flat piece of fabric, but if you are hemming a garment and there is a side seam it just does not work!! This is a much better option!!
How great is this! Does anyone know where I could purchase this in Australia? Shipping from the US is astronomical. I really need this in my life 🤣, thanks.
Thanks for showing that the threads can be difficult to pull sometimes and for showing this on a curved hem as well instead of just a straight hem.
Absolutely ☺
Very clever. And thanks for not calling it a “trick”.
Or a hack!
I’ve sewed for over 40 yrs and never knew this method - thank you so much for sharing
My circular skirts are going to look amazing! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU - THIS VIDEO IS TRULY A GIFT❤️🙏
My pleasure 🥰
So glad I found your channel! My mom could sew anything and my grandma was a professional tailor but they never taught me so learning techniques from you makes my heart so happy! Thank you!
Awwww thank you so much! I’m so flattered!
What’s the term for the curved ruler?
I did tailoring for almost 40 years and never knew this technique. Now I am retired and don't hem many things, but I am going to find something to try this on. Thank you for all of your videos. I wish I had known this years ago!
This was much clearer & easier to follow than others’ description of the same; thank you!
In all my many many years of sewing I’ve never heard of this I will definitely be trying this. Thank you sew much
Love the pun! It’s my pleasure. I wonder how many more amazing sewing secrets are out there!
This is awesome. Thnaks you! I’ve been sewing 60 years and never heard of this technique!
I’m so glad you found this helpful! It’s a game-changer! 😉
Just seeing this after hemming a double layered prom dress skirt, this would have saved me so much time!
Well, the next one will be a charm!

I had quit sewing recently due to frustration, but seeing your videos and great tips has motivated me to continue thank you !
I'm so glad! Enjoying sewing is a lot a matter of managing our expectations. Cheers 🙂
That is by far the coolest sewing trick/technique I have ever seen.

You have changed my life. I was struggling so much with rolled hems, I'd given up. Not now though. Thank you so much.
Does anyone know what Ban-roll is called in the UK please? I've just done a search on eBay but didn't find it.

Ban roll is a life saver and its reusable for many projects! I just hemmed a 220" ruffle made of double gauze.
Ouuuu! This was a long one!
Amazing, professional approach. Now the time I have to do, is to push to find the issue. Thank you very much. Fotini from Greece
Very informative I did not know about this. I wish I had known about this when I hemmed my granddaughters prom gown. Thank You so much.
Thank you for teaching me a new technique I love that I think I will never go back to the other way ever again
I know, right!!!!

Mind is blown 🌟. Thank you for the clear demo.
Where has this been all my sewing life
I know right! 😊
😂😂....you scared me at first, until you removed the ban roll....very nice, thank you
Hahaha that’s hilarious!!!
I have never seen this before! How perfect is that hem! I love it

@@DowntownTailoring thank you. Such great advice
Thank you. I think I even may have inherited some. I will use it for a long kimono over a sleeveless dress to complete a Summer look.
I love this... do you sew on the " fringe" part of the ban-roll? I can't see the exact placement of the stitches. You videos are always enhanced by your lovely voice!
Thanks! Yes I sew on the fringe part. That will allow me to pull the ban-roll afterwards. Cheers 🙂
Thank you so much for the technique but omg the pins on the front of the sewing machine is such genius that's gonna save so much time
Yes! Thanks. But I'm still embarrassed. I haven't had the time to make one that looks beautiful 😅
Wow this is life changing!! What a great technique! Ty!
This is an awesome technique, I must try it. I love how had your band roll on a spool of sorts, ready to use again and again! Thank you!
This was never taught in both of the fashion schools that i went too. Thank you 🙏
This technique is mostly used in Asia. I've seen French coutorières literally perfectly making this hems without any tool. You have to see it to believe it!
Wow this is a game changer! This video clear and simple Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
You are a very good teacher.
I have never seen this product before. i can't wait to try it. Thank you.
Thank you for this technique. It sure does beat having to carefully do this manually
Yes it does! 🥰
Wow.. That looks good. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🥰
Thank you so much. I've never heard of this. The hem is perfect
Wonderful video tutorial. I learned so much. Thanks a million!
