WOW HOLY MOLY!!!!! Never knew this tape existed and I've been sewing for 46 years. Thank you so much for the tutorial.

WOW I didn't know there was such a thing as "ban roll". Love your video. I want to learn more from you. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much! An old colleague of mine introduced me to this technique and I discovered this wonderful Korean technique!

[@maryb.c.507]

I used your technique (from earlier videos) for making tea towels out of some soft Japanese cotton. They turned out beautiful, everyone was amazed at "my" sewing ability! Thanks.

[@DowntownTailoring]

Wonderful! Those napkins certainly look amazing! 🤗

[@bhournbuckle]

I was just thinking about doing this with the tea towels I am making. 😀

You are so skilled in your craft, it is amazing how talented you are, your customers are lucky to have you! 💜✊🏻

Thank you so much! You are so kind 🥰🥰🥰

[@rhonddalesley]

This stuff is magic, the only thing is to be really careful with really lightweight fabric. I managed a 3mm rolled hem on chiffon and it turned out fantastically but the little ‘hooks’ can get caught in the rest of your fabric and snag it. I also did my hem using 2 shorter lengths of ban rol because I found it was easier to handle than the 3 metre length I have

[@DowntownTailoring]

Yes! You are absolutely right. I try to be careful to avoid any accidents. Cheers 😊

[@Amritadivya54]

I have been using your technique with the ban roll for narrow hems and I love it! No more fussy ironing the 1/4" turn and then again.Yuck! What I did to keep the ban roll useful for more repeated use is this: I painted on clear nail polish at the edge where the width-wise threads are sticking up(not on the edge of the sticking up part but at the woven part) This way I don't get more of the length-wise threads starting to "shedd" and come off when you don't want them to. It is keeping the ban roll nice and neat. Thanks so much!

[@sallyescrader1434]

OMG! You’ve just changed my life! For all the time I’ve been sewing, I’ve used a narrow overlock (one needle) then followed those stitches to fold the fabric. Although it’s perfect for mid-weight fabrics, it’s not as successful on chiffon, organza, etc. Using ban-tape will mean these lighter weight fabrics won’t have that added weight from extra stitching inside the hem. I have a customer’s chiffon gown to re-hem and am full of hope instead of dreading it!! Thank you so much. New subscriber from the U.K.

I have actually seen this before. But I totally forgot about it! Do you have a technique for doing a rolled hem on a curved hem, as well? That's what I always struggle with, even it it's just a gentle curve.

[@DowntownTailoring]

The ban roll works great with soft curves 👌 🥰

[@raraavis7782]

@@DowntownTailoring Oh, I thought due to the stiffness of the material, that likely wouldn't work. Gonna try it then! I already checked and it's available here. Which isn't always the case with stuff like that. But online shops have cought on to the fact, that their customers are now familiar with products from the US and such.

[@mollysowiak2929]

i love that you redid this video! ! I learned this technique from an old video of yours and use it in my alteration shop all the time now. I love the extra information you included this time. Especially, cutting the used edge of your ban roll off a little way away from the edge. My brain is still not exactly on my shoulders and I cut it so it leaves tiny plastic bits all over the place! so I will definitely implement this method next time. Thank you as always for the amazing videos!
