Thank you very much, Hyi Lim! I followed your every step and finished hems on my first dress slacks. They actually had no hems at all - raw except they were overlocked. (which I had to cut off anyway) You taught me the Magic Hem on jeans and now hem on dress slacks. You are the best teacher!!!

[@Sewingeducationcenter]

Why was the fold 2 and 1/4, and not 2 and 1/2? What if the cuff was 2 in. Would the fold be 3 and 3/8? This would answer the first question, thanks!

[@jadetobin]

Hi! I've recently been trying to teach myself to sew (better later then never I guess) and it's been slow going, mostly because of my own fear of messing up...but my husband needed some dress pants hemmed last minute before a big event and we watched this video several times, even making notes when I got confused, I just knew I had to get it just right... and they turned out perfect! :) you're a wonderful teacher and thank you so much for the details and measurements and showing each step so clearly. I know it sounds dumb to be nervous and to need to go over this over and over, but it really helped me and now that I've done it I know I can do more and that's because of you! We can't thank you enough for not only help with the pants, but also helping me slowly gain bits of confidence. I look forward to watching your other videos and learning more!! :) thanks again!!

[@Sewingeducationcenter]

Thank you for sharing! Just take it step by step and take your time with it. I also recommend when learning new sew techniques to practice with old jeans or clothes that you don't wear anymore. Have a great day!

[@jadetobin]

@@Sewingeducationcenter thank you so much! What a great idea!!! A lot less stressful that way! I'm just glad his pants came out perfect, thanks to you!! :) thank you for the encouragement too!! :)

[@Sewingeducationcenter]

@@jadetobin my pleasure! Also, I have some basic tutorials that cover everything from button sewing to stitching to making your own napkin. These you can do with scraps of fabrics and are a great way to learn sewing skills. Thank you for the kind words and keep learning!

[@jadetobin]

@@Sewingeducationcenter I've enjoyed your other videos very much! But SUCH a great idea to use scraps to just practice on first. I will abos8do that! Thanks again for everything :)

[@Sewingeducationcenter]

@@jadetobin Fantastic! Keep me posted, would love to hear about your progress.

You're welcome!

[@NejlahMarie]

Thank you very much! My only question is: Why is not the iron creating a shine to the slacks? When I press the material on the right side of the fabric, it causes an undesirable “Shine” to the pants.

[@robpet4424]

You, sir, are a "teacher" !
