Ssh! Your BERNINA Can hem your pants.

[@dianerussell1593]

You rock! Been quilting for over 30 years on Berninas and never hemmed pants. I’m ready thanks to you, thank you!

[@lcthompson831]

Hands down the best blind hem tutorial I’ve seen!! Have used this for my husbands suit pants and a formal dress!!

[@brettster3331]

Gayle this is so helpful, you are so kind to show using the basting stitch way to hem. I have ironed in an extra fold for years for blind hemming and this looks like a much more accurate way to do the blind hem. I am a man and hem my own pants and your video is a big help. Thank you Gayle.

Nice! I’m also impressed the 10 yo slacks still fit, lol ❤️ I just purchased the L 890. So smooth!

[@jennifermatsuoka6123]

Awesome tutorial! I only needed one practice run and then successfully hemmed 4 pair of pants in one evening. They look as nice (maybe even nicer??) as when I used to pay a tailor to do this for me. Thanks for teaching me a new skill!!

Again, a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much for all you do. Oh, btw. I love that quilt with the black cat in the background.

[@karenpeterson5414]

We’ll done, thanks!

Great tutorial.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

The hot hemmer (HH)is fantastic tool. Perfect tool for FPP when coupled with Add a quarter ruler. Want crisp 45 degree bends in your binding? Press them using the HH ruler. It is also a great general purpose measuring and marking tool as it is lightweight and accurate. Another great fine, strong poly thread is Wonderfil's Decobob (80wt) and Invisifil (100wt)

I’m really glad I found your videos! Bernina or not!

[@christinemacpherson2698]

I have never seen a better instructional on this foot. I feel a little more confident about doing it, but am still quite nervous if that makes sense. I have always hemmed pants by hand because I never understood the use of this foot. Cross your fingers for me.

[@arbed31]

Thanks for the video.

[@karenegeberg6007]

Thanks!

[@ceecee8757]

First time watching your videos. You're hilarious. You remind me of a cross between Mary Tyler Moore and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia!)

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Awe thank you. I have heard the Carrie Fischer reference a lot in my life.

[@dogonit7412]

I would like to hire Bernina ...Does she do windows?

[@lynnleipold2617]

Very nice

[@tanyayork6438]

Thanks so much !!!

[@melissad7855]

I didn't get how you folded the pants before stitching the hem?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Watch again at 11:42

[@philclemmons]

Since you are doing a cuff, why didn't you utilize the free arm feature of the L890?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

Thank you for your comment. The pants had a large opening and I didn’t think it was necessary. I wanted to focus on the blind hem rather than the overlocking. We also did not use the free arm on the sewing machine because of my decision mentioned above.

[@angelaschapiro4268]

Hi Gail. I tried to use that foot & I think I used the wrong plate because the needle broke! After the machine refused to sew! So which plate do we use?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

@@angelaschapiro4268 the widest stitch plate for your machine

[@angelaschapiro4268]

There is the straight stitch plate & the 9mm embroidery one (purple mark). My machine is B590. Which is wider? The embroidery one?

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

@@angelaschapiro4268 O mm is straightstitb. 9mm is the other. Which number is larger? The larger number is the wider stitch plate.

[@angelaschapiro4268]

Thank you. So I did use the right one. I just bought the B590 a few months ago. Learning.

[@BERNINAofNaperville]

@@angelaschapiro4268 if you are using the straight stitch plate with a tiny hole, how do you expect to do a wider stitch that is over 1mm wide with it? Straight stitch or 0mm plate is only for a straight stitch. Please visit your dealer and take your owners classes.
