How To Sew A Rolled Hem On A Sewing Machine

[@katielove9932]

You are the first one on rolled hem videos that explained to use the threads to pull the fabric through. Everyone else fumbled trying to say that the fabric takes practice trying to get it curved around the funnel. I like your technique the best. Thank you.

[@mjp5129]

I was trying to figure out how to use some kind of lead, to help pull it through. A few stitches are perfect. I must try this, soon. Ok, now I need to see something about sewing a corner on a scarf, say. I haven’t been able to get it to look good. Help!!

Hello Katie

[@jocelynecoutu348]

This is the best way i learn to do a rolled hem. I just love the way you teach with your simple trick

[@javalinarose]

I actually learned how to use my rolled hem foot from YOU! I have watched hours of tutorials but you showed me the trick and I went to my machine and sewed a perfect rolled hem! THANK YOU! Now I can finish my blouse!

[@maryjacobsen6539]

I am so happy to have found you on KZbin! I have avoided trying to use my rolled hem foot for years. You have given me the confidence to try and to practice. Thank you for the trick and the encouragement!

[@patfrontuto5342]

Wow, Thanks so much! You are right, so many are afraid of doing this, and I had two people bring me formal dresses needing the rolled hem. I watched video, after video, did the dresses, and I was happy with the results, better yet so were the customers. You are Awesome, Thank You! I am a quilter, not a seamstress.

[@dukelamore5877]

Hi, how are you doing

[@bodhadash]

This is genius! I look at other videos and tried what they said and they did not work for me. I will be trying this. Simple but effective.Thank you!

[@marievita7526]

Excellent step by step instructions. I am encouraged to try a foot that I have been afraid to use for many years! Thank you

[@dukelamore5877]

Hello, how are you doing Marie

[@theodorecolwell8338]

This finally worked for me after watching and rewatching and rewatching! I finally saw the missing advice......to hold the fabric edge straight up! I kept trying to ‘help’ the hem by trying to thread the fabric into the spiral already rolled. No go! I had watched the other videos. Yours was The only one that worked. Thank you

[@carolbarlow8896]

I just found your channel and I’m so glad that I did. Thank you!

[@joanmoore7123]

I've been trying to master the rolled hem since I got my machine last March. Your tutorial is brilliant managed a beautiful hem second time of trying. Thank you so much.

[@dukelamore5877]

Hello, how are you doing my friend

[@shubes723]

This video was fantastic!! I always was afraid to use the rolled hem foot because I have multiple people say it doesn’t always feed and roll evenly but these tips are great! I’m going to watch your other posts now you made things so easy to understand! Thank you!

[@esteladelacruz8825]

I’m glad I saw your video! Very precise explanation. Thank you

[@valhadfield6563]

Thanks, I'm not well today and am in bed but am going on holiday/vacation to Spain in 3 weeks time. Your video makes me want to jump out of bed and try right now. Blessings

[@francessheegog7500]

OH MY!! That was genius!! I have been using my rolled hem foot but what a mess when I hit those side seams. Thank you for sharing your trick!

[@glenmckenzie3243]

Wow, great tip, will give my rolled hem presser foot another go.

[@SarahBowditch]

Thank you so much for this video! I think I love you for this ❤️ I have been STRUGGLING

[@lynnelston413]

These are WONDERFUL instructions! Thank you

[@dukelamore5877]

Hi, how are you doing my friend

[@atomiam2874]

Thanks! You’re an awesome teacher!

[@lisadelasmaryas]

This is the best video I've seen! omg I feel encouraged jaja thanks!

[@rhodajoseph2514]

Best tutorial on the roll hem ,thank you.

[@marioahu5000]

You are so wonderful!! Finally did it without the struggle! Thank you!

[@Vin-id9os]

6:36 - 6:41 is an amazing statement for me. Thank you

[@christypoos9728]

I love that trick. Never seen that before. Will help alot in alterations TY.

[@dukelamore5877]

Hi, how are you doing?

[@emitecaps]

I Love your video & look forward to seeing your others. Right amount of info, instruction & encouragement. Way to gooooo!

[@jessicasanchez9681]

Wow you tip was great! Got it in the first try! 💕

[@autbrat78]

Can you do this again but show how to sew in the round and over seams with the foot? I did my sleeves recently on a shirt (I shortened the sleeves) and I struggled so much and it looks like a disaster!!! Thanks so much for this video though!

[@dukelamore5877]

Hi, how are you doing my friend

[@Karibee61]

I think you are fabulous: such a great personality and attitude

[@pinkapples33]

Thank you! Most tutorials only show how to start a rolled hem, but they don't show how you're supposed to finish it off. It feels very obvious now, but it certainly was not obvious to me.

[@imofwiw]

I simply stitch a long thread through the corner with a hand sewing needle. I like that better than sewing machine stitches into the corner that I can manage to make a mess of sometimes.

[@katielove9932]

What a great idea! That makes sense. Because doing it by machine could jam-up the thread. Thanks!

[@cassiocalu]

this was really hard, but your video made it easier! big thank you! :D

[@713Joanne]

Great idea on the seams!

[@dukelamore5877]

Hi, how are you doing my friend

[@labresults3650]

Wow, love those tricks!

[@simplysewing4295]

Can you please demonstrate how to do this for corners like hemming hankerchiefs etc. Thanks

[@phyllisweaver8911]

I loved your video. I will practice!

[@RobbieJayOne]

Thanks so much for your rolled hem foot sewing tip!!

[@DiannaAtherton]

You remind me of me! Hahaha I meant that as a complete compliment. Long time seamstress here. Love to share techniques. I will subscribe. Keep up the good work.

[@theodorecolwell8338]

From Mary Colwell.......Where are you responses and answers to the questions asked?

[@LisaLisa001]

You're a genius!

[@dukelamore5877]

Hi, how are you doing my friend

[@reneshay]

WHERE have you BEEN all of my life?? love your techniques and your presentation... thanks for this!

[@user-22-]

I love-love-love all your helpful videos but I’d save the black nails for Halloween... 👻🧛🏻‍♂️🦇

[@ViwernWong]

I wear black nails every month any day regardless of the time. If she wants black nails in spring, heck yeah!!!!! It’s her choice.

[@katielove9932]

It may be her choice but it looks unattractive. Natural nails are always the best.@@ViwernWong

[@adamas66]

You suggested a fabric stiffener but can we use spray starch instead? Really hope to hear from you. Thank you!

[@katielove9932]

You're not supposed to use any kind of sprays or mists around the machine. It can damage it.

[@andrewjones779]

You are awesome! Thankyou!

[@FUUNNIIEEE]

Thank you for the tip.

[@w6dfmp242]

Great video, thank you for making it! How do you turn the corner when using this on something like a napkin?

[@janericciardix]

Fabulous tutorial!! Many thanks!!

[@geraldinelombardo7434]

I’m going to replay video again. Can’t grasp how you’re explaining about where the seams join. Looks easy on a ‘flat’ piece of fabric, but in the real world hems are ‘round’. Please do a demo on starting and ending. Thanks for sharing!

[@dukelamore5877]

Hello, how are you doing

[@KimMarchese]

Hi! I'm not having any luck. When you start, what do you mean by "I've got my hem turned?" Do you fold over the corner and make three stitches where you've folded the corner? Thanks!

[@katielove9932]

Yes.

[@LauraJayne64]

Omg!! My mom and I were just trying to use this foot last night and finally gave up!!! Going to go try again!!

[@GC-ms4dj]

I had heard of the thread pull many years ago but never tried it. Thanks for reminding me to try it. However, the trouble I have is doing a rolled hem on a curve. It just gets all messed up. Any help there?

[@clothingalterations]

You can sew one free line at rear around. That line will help you sew curved line. Please visit my clothing alterations channel. Thank you very much.

[@sharonpaddock5869]

just what I needed...thank you!

[@susanbucklin3204]

Thank you, thank you!!!

[@bberger5896]

Great technique, thank you to share, it works fine

[@dukelamore5877]

Hi, how are you doing

[@slowly.but.surely]

This is fantastic. I love it. But still having trouble with my old Kenmore. There are several sprays under the name Sullivan. Which is this? Thank you so much, you're fantastic!

[@sallypatterson9359]

This was awesome!! Thank you so much!!!

[@dukelamore5877]

Hello, how are you doing?

[@abagguff9395]

Sullivan Spray. I need to find it!! Thanks for an easy-to-follow video!

[@irmar]

I heard of using hairspray in those cases.

[@charlottecapistran2512]

I can’t seem to find the Sullivan stabilizing spray online! It’s out of stock on every website! Does anyone know if it is still available somewhere?

[@TheEmmaman666]

I have rolled hem feet, nightmare, even using this trick! It's fine if your fabric is exactly straight, any miss measurement or if your heming on a curve (eg circle skirt) then all it does is twist the fabric

[@clothingalterations]

You can sew one free line first at rear to make it crook a little bit. Then use rolled foot. Please visit my clothing alterations channel. Thank you very much

[@clothingalterations]

Awesome 👍👍👍

[@monopinion8799]

Great refresher..Thank you.

[@Terrilene6]

Awesome, thank you for sharing.

[@marilyn6068]

Great tips, thanks

[@kaymurphy8463]

Where did you get that shelf ( clear colored ) that is on your serger ?

[@teresacole3915]

Your Awesome

[@brandonrashad]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@marianvanmeter6824]

I just tried it and I want to scream. I guess I will look for Sullivan Spray. You make it look so easy and your fabric does what you want. I’m trying it on a tricot knit an it just wants to roll away from the foot.

[@brdly9743]

How would you use a rolled hem foot for linen napkins?

[@AlabasterClay]

I don't understand what you are saying about the seams--and you keep saying, "Do you see" without a close up. So no, we can't see.

[@gavingoff1446]

Your video pictures are too far away. More close ups. You go too fast. Hope this is a help. Great presentation and nicely spoken and clear.

[@VRUAN]

Where to buy the Sullivan spray? Am I spelling it right?

[@katherinemerrilees5130]

thank you SO much!

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

Now I need to buy a rolled hem foot……

[@skwungebobsparepantsx5123]

You should have waaayyy more subscribers you absolute sparkly star. Thank you xxx🌟

[@RR-vr2vw]

Thank you!

[@tutsecret499]

how much is this rolled hem foot? Usually those feet are more expensive than the sewing machine.

[@irmar]

If you look at ebay or at Chinese sites like aliexpress etc, you'll see whole collections of 48 different feet for a ridiculously small amount. You just need to know whether your machine is long shank (older ones are) or short shank (after 1980 or so). This means the thingie where the foot is attached, is it long or short. Of course there are no instructions and the names of the feet are in Chinese, but there are many helpful blogs and tutorials which illustrate each one of them.

[@imisslola321]

what’s the spell for that fabric harder? solven???spray?

[@DiannaAtherton]

Sullivan

[@juliacollins4034]

seen it on amazon

[@markusmulder_]

Ok, nice tutorial, but the problem comes when you encounter a curve. Good luck with that!

[@siamese35]

My shoulders hurt watching you reach up to sew.

[@randyc8171]

They have been sewing machine accessories for over 100 years.

[@naughtybynature6213]

Can’t see it camera not close needs to be on top not beside

[@jennythomas3208]

Pity I wasn't able to see the technique at all

[@cindyyialouris7009]

,me me

[@713Joanne]

[@judithessex-clark9591]

That is a brilliant tip :) using that foot has made a total mess at the beginning for 30 years LOL.

[@reneshay]

i KNOW!! me TOO!! this tutorial is a total game changer! LOL

[@Khamryn]

Oh my gosh, thank you! I found you after watching three others who didn't manage to explain it somehow at all. After yours, it was so easy to do!!

[@lindao7887]

EXCCELLENT! The voice of experience for sure. This is what I needed, a "start". Thank you so much, need to go now and practice practice practice. Thank you sooooooooo much and God Bless!

[@2jorjay]

This was the best tutorial on creating a rolled hem!!! Thank you!!!!

[@annemcginn1086]

I've been sewing for over 50 years and never knew how to use the rolled hem foot! Thank you

[@franrhine5905]

me too Thanks for the light at the end of a tunnel. at 77 years old, I got it!

[@dukelamore5877]

Hello, how are you doing my friend

[@nataliemccue4036]

I usually just eyeball my rolled hems, but I'm making 4 dinner napkins for someone and need them to be perfect. I'll be using my rolled hem foot for the first time this weekend! Can't wait.

[@jorindadutton]

How do I do corners with a rolled hem?

[@spiritjourney7150]

EXCELLENT! WHAT ADVICE FOR DOING A ROLLED HEM FOR A CIRCULAR SHAPE CUT OUT?

[@DitzyBellzzCrafting]

Loved your instructions. Once I watched your video I had my aha moment.

[@007eltrino]

My english isn't too good, so am I right if I understood it like I should not sew over the "vertical" seem when i shorten clothes? Just leave like 0,5 cm open seem on each side to the vertical seem? :-)

[@abrogard142]

when i try to make that little starting stitch it just pulls out. we need to backstitch to lock it in I guess. when I do that I get a tangle of threads. but I can sort that out and the technique works. good one. thanks.

[@sharonwilliams1319]

Going out to get one today, best tutorial that I have seen on this foot. I love the way you start the hem with the handle looks much easier.

[@Sibes3]

I just recently learned how to sew a rolled hem on my 1907 Singer Treadle. I can't believe after over 113 years the technology really hasn't changed! I love your tip of adding a thread guide to start!

[@dukelamore5877]

Hello, how are you doing my friend
