Sewing a Curly Hem Using Fishing Line

[@TheDollyknickers]

Thank you Colleen. I've used this technique in bridesmaid dresses. I used a cording foot to control the line. I also have used with even greater success the rolled hem on the serger. I didn't use the wrapping and hot water bath though. What a great idea. I imagine smaller tubing could be used to make a more rippled effect? I will experiment with this one! You're awesome as always!! Thanks!

You made it look sew easy. I can't wait to try this.

[@colleenglea]

It certainly is and gives a great finish.

Hi Coleen thanks for all your fabulous videos. I love it and have learnt quite a bit from them. I have a question for you. Can this finish be made on a non bias cut skirt hem?

[@colleenglea]

Yes! This technique can be used on a non bias cut skirt hem.

When sewing the zig zags is it better to keep the needle on the fabric or should I let the needle go out of the fabric on one side? If that makes any sense. Thanks! Loved the tutorial btw!

[@colleenglea]

naslisntxaij Thanks for your comment. The needle should be kept on the fabric.

[@spike19821000]

[@arnitacanas5958]

Thank you good information. Enjoyed your video.

[@colleenglea]

No problem arnita canas!

[@colleenglea]

Haha, thank you.

[@elina7xia]

i dont have a microwave and i use cardboard would a hairdryer do the job? because the heat is causing the waves so i thought this would be an other way to set the thread under heat....without melting it like the stove would do

[@riyanakousor2972]

Please can you say what the best thickness is for this or the thickness of the line you have used. Thank you :)

[@colleenglea]

I used 50lb fishing line for this demonstration.

[@Libiba99]

[@colleenglea]

My pleasure.

[@danielleliane]

Great vid thank you

[@colleenglea]

No problem Danielle.

[@colleenglea]

I've never tried so give it a test and see how it turns out.

[@laramason6460]

Hi, is it possible to do this on a ready made skirt too?

[@colleenglea]

I don't see why not

[@rianamoi]

Thank you.

[@colleenglea]

My pleasure.

[@colleenglea]

I don't see why not. The technique only works on lightweight fabrics.

[@mohaasar170]

[@colleenglea]

[@TheShama29]

[@vaealee1978]

[@colleenglea]

Hi Lee, You will get a better result if the fabric is cut on the bias.
