Fine roll hem for sheers

This roll hem answers a question one of my students had when we were in the study collection at the Fashion Institute of Technology recently.
P.S. TO THOSE WHO PRESUME TO COMMENT ON MY FINGERNAILS BEING TOO LONG--DON'T. I use my nails when sewing. So stop it please.

[@maureenlafrantz3654]

I don't often feel compelled to leave a comment on KZbin videos. But I wanted to personally thank you for doing this tutorial. Camera angles were really good, your instructions were extremely clear and concise. Even though I've never tried something like this before, I feel prepared with enough information to give it an attempt and have a decent outcome. Thank you much for taking the time to do the tutorial.

[@kdknyc]

Glad it helped!

[@sawu3668]

Same thought. 👍

[@sawu3668]

​@kdknyc Very useful and solved my long-term question.

[@American-Jello]

This is the best tutorial I think I've ever seen on KZbin. Never once did I feel as if I didn't understand something, every single camera view was perfect to show the specific instructions and results, and the explanations were so concise there left no room for misunderstanding. You have an absolute gift for teaching, sir. Thank you so much for this!

[@kdknyc]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@fauzianaureen5584]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@jackyrobinson1716]

Beautiful work and excellent demonstration. Thank you.

[@grumpy_poo]

and that's why the designers charge for their skills... fabulous...

[@user-oo8ei4lj6s]

The designers actually don't do the sewing.

[@velvetchiharu]

@@user-oo8ei4lj6s seriously, a lot of the times these things are being sewn by underpaid laborers in workshops. Next time you put any clothing on appreciate how well made it is and the fact that every stitch was by a human hand somewhere regardless of how cheap your clothes are.

[@grumpy_poo]

@andromeda6477 I would have thought they would need a basic knowledge of the craft skills required.... but still the skills required on these well made garments are amazing.

[@lj7780]

​@andromeda6477not so, my grandmother was great designer, it was those day about complete garderobes, all in certain style, she was known 300 km away, but i saw her bisy with jacket sleaves stitch by stich, she never left that to others, so many fine work, its not valued anymore nowadays

[@lydzphens]

This is an excellent tutorial. Many years ago, I made my daughter a flower girl's dress for my brother in laws wedding. He brought me the pattern and fabrics. I had no idea how to sew with sheer fabric, satins, or which needles to use. But with his encouragement, I played with scraps of each fabric and tried different needles and threads until I was ready to start making the dress. Back then, there was no KZbin to refer to, like this video, for a hem for the chiffon layers. I tried the usual foled hem, but that looked awful! I tried several different hemming stitches on my machine until I found that the zigzag stich would draw the edge of the fabric into the stich, rolling it quickly. But this left some frayed threads peeking out. So I cut the 12 yards of these threads and went over the edge a second time with the zigzag stich, making it look clean and like I knew what I was doing. I was so proud of my work. I even received a compliment from the family "seamstress" of, "Oh, you used a french rolled hem." Or at least I think it was a compliment. Which I answered with a very faint, "Ahumm!" And said nothing about my struggles. I would have really benefited from this video back when making the dress. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I enjoyed the video and the memories it brought back for me.

[@TheBekahO]

I don't have a project that needs this hem, but now I think I'll find one.

[@sasharey9160]

Me too!!!! Cheers

[@lourdesvalencia5061]

OMG yours looks better than the original, very clear and concise explanation without so much unnecessary detour, I loved it, I learned something that I always thought was impossible to do at home with a regular sewing machine, I really appreciate it,

[@sued.5698]

We are so lucky to have you share your knowledge with us. A wonderful tutorial, so clear.

[@BATFAERY]

I thank you for tutoring all of us. My mother had no patience to share her wonderfully artistic talents nor was I allowed to view from her shoulder. It is the kindness of most talented sewists / tailors as you that gives us the courage to try and succeed. Godspeed. Thank you.

[@kdknyc]

I'm glad you can learn from sll if us.

[@gvweeda]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have always shied away from sheer fabric for skirts because of not being able to get a beautiful hem line. But now I’m going to try again!

[@N__blog]

I find the old sewing techniques priceless❤thank you a lot for this tutorial

[@volna-volna]

Спасибо. Я всё поняла ,не зная английского на нужном уровне. Но вы так понятно показали,что слов не нужно 🎉

[@FlutterFoxFly]

It's such a treat to get a video like this! I can tell you're good teacher and that you love teaching. I really appreciated all the camera angles and skipping forward when you've thoroughly shown the work. I can't wait to try this technique, thank you for so much sharing your knowledge with us!

[@tammydeplata2526]

When I watch vids like this, it mks me appreciate all the more when I do come across fine craftsmanship such as this. Many ppl hv absolutely no clue what goes into crafting such a fine garment. It's difficult I think these days to find a quality piece that's actually worth the price and doesn't just "look good". Couture is an underrated art.

[@jillshirley2152]

I am so glad I saw this tutorial. I am making little girls tutus and didn't like the idea of no hem but I had no idea what to do. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@joanneward3520]

OMG! Fantastic video. Clear instructions. Unbelievable quality and outcome.

[@CLEliasArt]

Many, many thanks for this wonderful tutorial. I have a project I’ve been agonizing over/avoiding- this hem technique saves the day!!! Truly beautiful and incredibly timely. Thank you again!❤❤❤

[@EW-gj5nn]

I only wish this video had been available last year when I started on my daughter’s wedding dress. Thank you for showing me something new.☮️

[@danaventura5998]

Wow, that was great. I have never seen a hem like that, just handkerchief hems. Thank you.

[@EAhighlander-vf7rr]

Gosh, this is the video I’ve been searching for! I have a difficult sheer fabric dress that I’ve spent months trying to get a nice hem on, and failing..Now I know how to sew it! Thank you so much!

[@omaeve]

Excellent tutorial I remember learning this in my class. Because when I started learning design, I was a hand sewer I like the slow movement of my grandmothers, treadles sewing machine, which I inherited because no one else wanted it

[@DaisysDay]

Kenneth, your teaching is on point. Thank you for having a KZbin channel.

[@your3kidding]

Beautiful photography and explanation. Thank you!

[@suer666]

Brilliant where have you been all my sewing life. So glad your showing us how to do things the expert way xxx thank you

[@Gwendolina12]

I will be using this to sew my wedding dress soon. You have seriously prepared me for this endeavour in the best possible way. Thank you!

[@sharonnewport2864]

Thank you so much Kenneth that was so informative and beautifully executed. It was wonderful to see the original work. What a beautiful finish to a delicate garment ❤

[@dh3749]

That was awesome!! Thank you for making this tutorial. I like your style of explaining and showing the progress in detail.

[@tropezando]

Thank you so much. I come from the quilting world and have no knowledge of garment sewing. This was a very well made tutorial for a type of fabric that has always stumped me. I guess I can stop banging my head againet a wall, trying to feed flimsy fabric through my rolled hem foot lmao

[@gwendolinehughes8310]

What can I say... THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS. I'm off to mend some lovely silk scarfs 😂

[@soonahnavarro132]

Wowww!!! That's beautiful stitches😮!!! I have never seen that before!!! You need a zigzag machine, though~~~😅

[@komisobaba]

Oh, my gosh! I can't sew to save my life, but I was mesmerized. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@user-qz4rj2kr8l]

Бесценный Урок!!! Благодарю что делитесь знаниями, которые обсалютное большенство может подчерпнуть только благодаря наличию интернета и Вашему желанию Служить Портняжному Искусству!!! 🙏🙏🙏🌹

[@terryolsson4145]

[@myhouse108]

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach your excellent processes to us!

[@colin101981]

Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge. Your camera work and voice over are excellent. Really appreciated.

[@jenihansen7201]

Beautiful work. Thank you so much. I have beautiful wedding dresses that I purchased from Salvation Army and a huge discount , so I bought them ALL. Now you have shown me how to do hems for other projects. Again, thank you.

[@janelicata5328]

Thank you for sharing this fabulous tutorial. It was so clear and concise! Sheer fabrics have always frightened me! I am going to try this on some scrap fabric.

[@user-qh4eq3hd9z]

Я не знаю ваш язык, но я увидела то что мне нужно было.Спасибо очень интересный вариант для блузки.Все чётко и понятно.

[@tooangelblue]

Thankyou for showing this. You make it look manageable and achievable. These tricks are the ones that elevate our making to a standard that we can take pride in. ❤

[@marilynbowman]

Thank you for this detailed tutorial. Your tips for this type of hem are sure to make it a success.

[@2Bcreative888]

Awesome information! Sheer materials have always intimidated me, especially for the type of hem you’ve shown here which is exactly the type I need to use on my fairy doll wings!! Your video was great and was also a good reminder on the frequent need to press the stitching!

[@rollergirl55]

I am so happy I spotted this tutorial while scrolling through the line up of videos. I was planning on watching a yoga Nedra video recommended by my daughter and when I went back to watch it, I saw this video, I was impressed with your teaching style I was mesmerized and had to watched the entire video. You are a wonderful teacher. I am a visual learner and it’s vital I watch well done tutorials. Thanks for sharing your sewing videos. I’ll have to listen to more of your sewing

[@Bioluvskatz]

I’m not currently needing this, but saw the video and thought “always good to learn something new”. Very good video! Explained everything clearly and gave some useful tips. Well done!

[@soniagonzales9144]

Awesome tutorial! Loved it! Thanks for sharing this. I have always wondered how this was done.

[@tammyjohnson8150]

I cannot possibly put into words how astounded I am. By this well taught lesson. Sewing a difficult to work with, fabrics hem! Bravo sir Bravo 👏

[@ritalim1836]

This is the best sewing tutorial ever. I’m so glad that KZbin recommended it to me. Thank you so much for your knowledge. 💜💜

[@rahimahaman4126]

Thank you for sharing this information about sheer hemming. I have some projects in mind after watching your tutorial. God bless and thank you

[@chubbins57]

I don't know who you are, but I love you! Thank you for showing us this! And now I'm about to show out with my sewing skills.

[@jjmetrejhon1743]

I'm just beginning to learn how to sew garments and this is an instant sub for me, thank you so much for this (and your other) tutorial(s)!

[@2degucitas]

This is so much better than trying to attempt a rolled hem on such fabric. I have a hem that needs redoing.

[@rawforyou5514]

Beautiful, and very nicely explained! Thanks

[@helanesteinmuller9279]

How did I not know you were on KZbin? 😢 A big thank you for this video, and for gifting me one of life’s great pleasures by teaching me to sew many years ago through your articles in Threads magazine. So happy to meet you again. ❤️

[@handmaidenrakhel8854]

My comments exactly!!❤

[@doreenformato6838]

This is a great video. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. Very helpful

[@futasupastah]

Sooooo cool I love it! You just demystified hemming sheer fabrics

[@melissamellinger6809]

Great! a way to hem those shear fabrics. Thank you. I think I am going to try it on other fabrics where I don't want a traditional hem. Thank you

[@carolynrogers1510]

Wow, that’s a beautiful fine finish, I’m inspired to try this. I’ve done overlocker rolled hems on organza in the past but your method is far superior

[@sherrina75]

Kenneth, you are wonderful. Thank you for sharing this technique!

[@tiabarring]

Lovely work! Excellent instruction.
