How To Sew A Hong Kong Finish

[@ProfessorPincushion]

Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad you are enjoying our tutorials. :)

[@wildplumbeauty]

Wow. Best tutorial out there for Hong Kong finish! Thank you!

[@Cee1505]

As always, very clear instructions and great camera work. Thanks!

[@jennhenning8106]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I actually ran into a doll dress pattern recently, I plan on retrying the pattern now that I have a better understanding of how to do the finish (the first attempt was terrible). Again thank you very much!

[@FJfash]

I'm reading a book (couture sewing techniques) but i also need a helpful video for me to understand more. Thank you for this. This is a great help. 😊

[@ProfessorPincushion]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I would like to do a boning tutorial some day. Have you seen our bustier tutorial? I sewed the boning casing directly on my seams and and then inserted the boning. It was easy and worked pretty well. Don't know if it'll help but hopefully a little. :)

[@joannebarrette9]

Thank you kindly for this very clear video. As usual, your explanations are top notch. Tx again ;)

[@Marisol9111-w3p]

this is the best Hong Kong hem tutorial I have seen.. thank you 4 sharing!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

being cut on the bias it shouldn't fray much, but if you're worried about it you can finish the edge with a zig zag or overcast stitch.

[@jmarylastone]

thank you so much for also showing the hem - I have know this process for years on the seams but never seen it on hems - also when I would try to search for photos to tell others how to do this I could never find it because I was calling it a korean finish by mistake great video

[@chocolate001able]

Wow never heard of that before. In the UK its known as a bound edge seam and hem. You learn something new everyday......great video....reminds me of college.

[@blufaerie]

This was so clear and helpful!

[@gracekellman8049]

This was so helpful omg a lot of hemming videos are so confusing but this helped me do my sewing homework for college!!

[@FlagOscar]

[@ProfessorPincushion]

thanks for the kind words

[@wildheart5]

Thanks so much for this video. I had forgotten how to do this!

[@melindam2776]

You are a very good teacher, thank you. ☺️

[@savtasunny7815]

I really like this finish.

[@GurlPrincess]

Could you do a video on the different types of "boning" and insertion? I want to add boning to a bustier type dress with princess seams for extra support.

[@pinkdottie1]

Is that the Marc Jacobs Gatsby nail poilish?i luv it, and your video too!

[@donnazappala7738]

I simply LOVE your videos! Since I'm "new-ish" to sewing, could you tell me, would a blind hem work for the hem when finishing it with the Hong Kong finish? Thanks in advance for any advice!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I haven't tried it but I would say, yes, it would work :)

[@anniemationwang5092]

Thank you so much

[@reynalay]

I have a question: Since the bias strips aren't finished or folder over at the edges, will they unravel? Or should you leave extra to fold in a 1/4" SA on the bias strip so that it won't unravel?

[@angiemenapa]

Reyna Lay It should not unravel as it is cut on the bias so the warp and weft are not as free to mess around as when cut on striaght of grain/grainline. That last edge is tucked under on purpose too. So it receives minimal stress.

[@floodgates182]

Nice nail polish.

[@exnalstew]

Excellent video, very informative...

[@Koredesemilore]

It a good tutorial

[@rener6736]

why are you leaving a raw edge on the inside of the seam that would fray? especially since it was cut on the bias.

[@lizzyf210]

Why didn't you use the stich in the ditch instead of topstich on the Hong Kong seam?

[@monelleny]

Very pretty, but is there a structural advantage of using the hong kong finish on a hem, as opposed to just turning the edge of the hem over before finishing it?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

+monelle there's not really a structural advantage, it's just more couture detail.

[@lanicetye]

can you just use double fold bias tape from the store? :)

[@ProfessorPincushion]

yes, that should be fine :)

[@blueforeverblue]

yep

[@EJtheArtist]

I'm sewing a brocade tabard with a lining. Is this for if you do not have a lining?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

yes. if you have a lining then you're already covering the hem so you don't need to do this too

[@jonesadrockable]

So why not cut your first strip .5 an inch and then going forward cut one nice strips. Save a step of cutting the first strip n half.

[@xdlouolbx]

loooooooooooooooove your videos :***

[@ProfessorPincushion]

thank you so much! :)

[@rajusuwal4093]

But why u need extra fabric when u can fold the same fabric n do stitches on it n will have a same result..🤔🤔

[@MakeAmericafreeagain]

raju suwal because you can’t do that on curved seams. The fabric will pucker. The tape is cut on diagonal which allows you to stretch it to whatever shape needed.

[@blueforeverblue]

That is how high-end clothing is made as compared to DIY's

[@Lyn4817]

The French an Flat Felled seams are far more professional.

[@rdmss]

Learn to use the lines and the triangles on the table or board or mat and you will make a better video and you won't need to cross your arms and cut the material at a 45` angle. Properly used the cut is easier and safer both vertical and horizontal. And it is accurate.

simple ans easy video
