Pressing a line "instead of chopping, hemming, and hoping" is genius - thanks so much for the help!

I bought a bunch of T-shirts, and they are way bigger around the arms because I have a wide back. Buying t-shirts to fit me would probably cost me a mint, so I have this handy dandy sewing machine, I know how to use it, but I didn't know how to do the sleeves. Thank you so much for this video because I never thought about pressing before sewing. Thanks a lot for the tips!

Great tutoriaI, thank you. I use a similar method for all hemming...except dont press , as some fabrics like denim mark, i was taught ( by my Mum 55 years ago!) to pin to measurement and run a contrasting hand basting thread along the bottom, then remove pins and mark cutting line, try on, and if happy, cut like you do. I had a polyester flare dress hem to do for someone...i needed this method as the iron might have melted it!!!
