I’m hemming the dresses for my daughter’s bridesmaids. They are all from Azazie, but different fabrics. I’m struggling with the chiffon. It is puckering. Any tips?

Hi Tinatamburini! You got this! I'm not sure what settings you have set your machine to, but it can be a start? You may want to check your stitch length and thread tension and see if that helps. Try shortening your stitch length and if tension is too high it could pucker. Also, when guiding the fabric under the needle, try and let the fabric gently feed under the foot and not to pull it through or tighten the fabric (tension) under the needle as it feeds through. Also, check your needle, lighter/smaller needle for chiffon. Hope this helps. Again, you got this! :) Which Azazie dress are you hemming?

@@leslieeltherington Thank you so much for your reply! I shortened my stitch length, and lowered the thread tension. It really made a big difference. 2 down, 1 to go. (And of course my own) Thanks again for your kindness :)

Are you thinking about hemming your own dress? I hope this has inspired you to try it on your own or hem an extra side dress for fun!!! ❤
