Thanks to the algorithm i got to this video on my second attempt to find the best blind hem tutorial. First one was waste of time, this one great. Commenting to boost so others find it quicker:)
Same!! Definitely the best blind hem tutorial I've seen. I've looked it up prior to now and the explanation wasn't as good. Loved this one tho!!
Omg for 20 years I’ve never been able to figure this out! It ended up faster for me to just hand stitch my hems. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Hi! My 2 cents: the pants used in your demo are obviously a high end fabric that has wonderful inherent movement when worn. Turning the hem up without trimming off the excess fabric of the original hem MIGHT not put too much extra bulk at the bottom of the pant leg when using a machine to do the sewing. BUT - to not trim off any excess hem material before creating a new hemline on pants like cotton khakis or everyday knock-around pants has always turned into a bulky disaster for me in over 60 years of sewing. Do it properly by …marking the new hem…release the old hem stitching…trim off excess fabric…then blind hem stitch with the machine, or encase the hem edge with the overlock stitch and finish by hand. Creates a much less bulky hem area. Sorry - just trying to present another method!😊
Thanks and what length of fabric do you leave for future let out or to weigh the pant legs? I just went to Uniqlo and had 2 dress pants hemmed and I think they said the are going to cut off the extra material and leave a bit of material. I felt uneasy about that and asked them to leave 3” of extra material to be safe.
Seems like the staff was not that knowledgeable or trained and just wanted to do it the quickest and easiest.
But they offer free alterations on their product and of older and without a receipt they charge only $5.
I'm at a loss as to understanding the problem you're presenting here in reference to this particular demonstration. Firstly, it doesn't seem like this hem is the result of an alteration and is probably the first hem for this garment, so your "instructions" are kind of moot. Secondly, in principal there is no "extra" bulk; the depth of the hem is more or less correct for a bespoke trouser, which should have a hem the total opposite of skimpy (also, the fabric here is kind of floaty and needs the weight of a substantial turn-back). Jeans and sometimes khakis generally have a small rolled and topstitched hem which is correct ONLY for these types of casual pants.
I finally got it after so many years of sewing. Had to get my son's suit pants hemmed just right for his wedding! Much appreciated!!
Good explanation of hemming on a sewing machine. I bought a blind hemmer forty years ago. I've enjoyed having it because its stitches are invisible.
Blind hems can drive you crazy! This video is very clear and extremely helpful. Thank you!
Oh my goodness this is the best blind hem tutorial I have seen. I have been trying to figure it out for the last couple of days and your video came up this morning.
Thank you so much! I have 3 pairs of slacks longing to be hemmed but I was afraid to even attempt them. You've made this look absolutely do-able. Much appreciated 👍
This is the best demo and explanation I’ve ever seen! I’ve sewn for many years and have avoided this technique. I’m going to try this. I really appreciated the explanation of the stitch anatomy - 3 stitches then the left hook. Have liked and subscribed after watching this. Look forward to more videos
Thank you. Your video was directly to the point and very clear to understand, with no fluffy extra chatter. 😂 thank you so much
Fluffy chatter is absolutely annoying, I agree with you!
This is the best video tutorial I have seen on this stitch! Thank you so much for the amazing zoom in and clear instruction.
I've been (going crazy) trying to learn it for one of my hubby's particularly special pants and I haven't been able to grasp the concept of how to line up the folds and where the needle should be landing! You explained it all so well. So appreciated. I'm going to watch more of your videos.
THANK YOU! I just could not do this without your help! I was skeptical because I usually subscribe to women's instructions. When you said the words, "turn the hem in on itself" or "turn the pants in on itself" I finally understood. All the drawings in the world could not help me!
Thank you so much! I've never done a blind stitch before and every other video I watched was way more complicated!
Very helpful. Appreciate showing on actual pair of slacks. I'm hemming several pairs for my father, so this is first time trying this kind of stich.
That’s going to come in so handy when I do the hems to my suit pants for a family wedding I have to intend. Thank you so much for that.
Great instructions on blind- hem
Thanks
Excellent video! Easy to see and follow. Simple explanation with no unnecessary verbiage. I'll save this as a handy reference. Thank you!
I tried my first blind hem on my sewing machine today thanks to your wonderful tutorial. The illustrations that came with my sewing machine just didn’t make sense to me. Thanks so much!
Thank you for showing us on an actual pant leg!
Short and sweet, to the point! Thanks can't wait to try this!
This was sooo simple and concise! I’ve never understood how to blind hem but just started a job where I need to dress well and my new dress pants were too long. Thank you so much for explaining this!
Excellent demo. Thank you. Step by step.
Great video and very useful tip for hemming pants. 😊
Very clearly demonstrated, thanks!
Awesome demo, thanks! I'll definitely practice this to see if I can get good enough to do my own hems 🎉
something that has had me so confused This helped TY so much!🙂
Thank you, good tutorial! Many regular home sewing machines have a blind hem foot available, or can make use of a generic one, as long as it fits the shank of the machine. The foot holds the edge and the fold in place to get the tiny stitch perfectly aligned.
Excellent, U made this look so EASY!!!
This is THE video for blind hem tutorial! Clear and easy. I need to find a vid explaining how to use a blind hem foot now.
Thank you for this 👍 My husband recently bought me a fabulous Janome sewing machine and so far I’ve only used the basic stitch.
I also have a new pair of trousers which need to be shortened.
Great demonstration - I hardly ever do dress pants but as I got asked the other day this video really helped. You look like you might be sewing blind hems regularly so you will be glad of the blind hem machine which I never knew existed til today 😊
Kid is a rock star
Clear demonstrations and explanations! Love your videos! Thanks sm!

Great video, just learning some things about what my sewing machine is capable of, thank you!
Nice Work!
Thank you so much 👍learning so much from you ❤
thank you. Very helpful
your explanation was clear, and I can't wait to try it. The fabric of the pants looks lovely-maybe Seersucker? Could you share its name? Thanks!
Hi can you post a video on how you got the cuff prepared to how they are that you can then go about and do the blind stitch. Yours look evening sewed mine the inside cut has the scissor cuts
Will try this.
Very precise explanation. I have wondered how this was done.
Incredible thank you
Awesome, thank you x
OK, I only have one pair of pants that fit, the hem came out and my meeting starts in 1 hour and 15 mins. Here we go! Thanks!
Excellent instructions
I'm going to try this method today!!! 😅
It went so well I’m so thankful that you shared this with RUclips lol 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Thank you Sir
so helpful! thank you
You're a rockstar!
Thank you, very cool technique!
Incredible bro
Thank you for the video. How do I stop getting a pucker at the end of sewing. It seems to happen to me all the time. Yesterday I had to cut off a pair of dress pants as they were really to long. Hemming went well until the last inch or so and then I got that dreaded pinch of fabric.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
This was very helpful, thank you! Just saved my bf $19 :D
Perfect
Very helpful. THank you
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. 🖐🏼🙂
Thank you so much for yr tip👍
Thank you!
ty
Here is a comment thumbs up 👍 for the video
What is the chalk you're using. The kind I have isn't very good?
Where do I buy the machine?
Wanted to know how much material you leave behind when hemming. I just went to Uniqlo to hem 2 dress pants. They were going to just cut and leave no material. So I told them most dress pants I’ve had hemmed there’s material left to let out in the future and the pant material helps weigh the pant legs. So the original pants had 4 inches of material and went with 3” to be safe. But they had no idea about altering pants and just was going to do it the quickest way.
Oh and the reason I went to Uniqlo was bc they offer free alterations on their merchandise. Or $5. if you don’t have the receipt. But the rules are all over the place and depends who you ask.
So on the fly I told them to leave 3” material in the back, but what is the ideal length of material should you leave?
The folding part is absolutely unclear to me. Fold then fold what? Any help would be lovely
“I wish somebody HAD shown me …”. Not ‘would have shown me’ (the WOULD comes in the second part of the condition phrase not the first !!!)
Thank you! I love your detailed explanations! When I got my first sewing machine as a wedding gift from my mom, the amazingly kind woman at Sears showed me some tips and tricks. The blind hem was one of them. Sadly many things has passed since 1991: Sears, my first sewing machine and my mom! But, the memories remain and are sweet and fill me with joy. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I still have the sample from the kind instructor and use it as a reference when I hem my husband’s trousers. 😊
😢 same.

Awesome, definitely made this easier to understand than the Janome manual
Thank you Lewis. Love the specs, they really suit you. I've always been nervous about doing a blind hem but will have a go now you've explained it so well. 👍
