Perfecting the Rolled Hem

[@annwilliams2075]

I watched another video on using the rolled hem foot just prior to watching this one. The difference between watching an expert and an amateur is startling. Your expertise and clear instruction is so evident, so much so I learnt more in the first few moments here than in the whole of the first video watched. Many thanks 👏👏😊😊

[@SuperStitchSewing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Pureimagination200]

That’s why they are experts but singer had a video for using a rolled hem foot and they said to iron the hem first. If I did that I wouldn’t need a roll hem foot

[@SuperStitchSewing]

@@Pureimagination200 I agree, plus if I try to iron first I will just burn my fingers

[@Itsme.KatieG]

Same!! I just watched a different video and the technique in this video is so much better!

I've been trying to get someone to teach me how to use the rolled hem foot for years! You make it simple. Thanks.

[@SuperStitchSewing]

Glad to help. Thanks for watching.

[@crimson25543]

This is the first time I've ever seen someone actually demonstrate how to successfully use rolled hem feet and how to get the roll started consistently and how to hold the fabric to keep the roll going. I'm going to experiment on my Viking machine since I have the rolled hem feet and they've been ignored for 20 years.

[@SuperStitchSewing]

Good luck. Thanks for watching.

[@kittyrings]

What a difference when you watch a pro do this. I've learned more with her examples than any videos prior to this one. Simple to the point!!!!! That is the secret to a teacher that knows her skills and can relay it to her students without the confusion. Love this!

[@SuperStitchSewing]

Wow. Thank you for such kind words. I appreciate it.

[@melissasaxon3714]

Oh you are awesome, this is exactly the kind of tutorial us KZbin learners need! No dinky music or annoyingly perky voices, just a pro clearly explaining the process. Cant wait to check out your other videos, I have a feeling you are going to help me take my sewing to the next level. Thank you very much for the video!

[@jodiknight2820]

WOW. After decades of sewing, I finally understand how to use the rolled hem foot. Your use of the thread loop to start the seam is epic genius.

[@sallyomalley8607]

I've had this foot for as long as I can remember and have failed on so many occasions trying to use it. I always did rolled hems by hand. After this video, I hemmed a chiffon full circle skirt PERFECTLY! I've watched numerous videos and this one is the absolute best! Thank you from this 70 year old seamstress!

[@cheshkat6321]

I am thanking you for the zigzag tip beforehand. I just know it will work for me. I practiced on the same fabric of my garment and it worked but I think it could be smoother, so KZbin to the rescue. I have limited extra fabric for practice and I knew I was in need of help. I can go to bed now, knowing everything is gonna be alright and I will finish my hem tomorrow thanks to you.

[@SuperStitchSewing]

It can take a little practice, but adding the zigzag at the beginning makes it so much easier to get started.

[@mymyhart1701]

I have needed to do a rolled hem for several projects - and never could figure out how. I watched about 6 videos before I ran across yours. The way you showed getting the (full circle item) stitch started - going back and forth - was truly mind blowing. The stitch starting at the very end was amazing. No more trying to iron that tiny area, nor having an inch or so unstitched. I'm so glad I kept searching. I am now subscribed!

Thanks so much. All the other tutorials are pretty much the same- this one gives some tips that really help get you going. It seems that no matter what it'll take a fair amount of practice, but your tips prove that I *can* get a rolled hem out of this foot without pre-pressing the fabric. Cheers!

[@dianneunderwood8456]

you're never too old to learn new tricks - haha. I agree that your tutorial is well presented and very helpful. Until a few years ago, I didn't have any extra feet for my sewing machine (had it since 1981). Now that I do have the rolled hem foot (as well as many others), I appreciate your time and knowledge to assist in learning the best way to use them. Thank you!

I purchased the rolled hem feet and viewed several videos on how to use them. It seemed like more work measuring and ironing to get to the actual sewing. Thank you for teaching me a better way to use these feet!❤

[@SuperStitchSewing]

Glad it was helpful! I never understood why I would iron the fabric instead of letting the foot do the work. Thanks for watching.

[@debbiedavis9871]

I have been using the Kenneth D King shirt making method (pressing a starter hem and straight stitching with the rolled hem foot on top before the wiggle), and thought this gave the ultimate results. It's worked well on 2mm hems, so I've been feeling like a sewing genius til now. Trimming the crossing seam allowances looks so much simpler than untucking the hem and sewing flat under the foot and restarting. I can't wait to pull out my chiffon and georgette stash and try these tips out. And Everyone is getting placemats and napkins this Christmas. Thank you so much.

[@Me547]

This video is incredibly helpful. I’ve got a Singer sewing machine that I do a lot of basic stuff on but I was recently gifted a box of sewing machine feet and I’m trying to figure out what each one is and more importantly, how to use them. I think the 6mm rolled hem with a zig zag stitch might be the perfect way to finish off the armholes and neckline of a simple lightweight knit nightgown I’ve been wanting to make. I’ll run some tests to see if it keeps it’s stretch but this would be the exact level of subtle I want if it works. I’ve also got a ruffle foot that’s absolutely crazy looking. No idea what I’ll use it for but the moving parts are alarming.

Thank you, the explanation is really clear. I tried using this method (zigzag stitching and then turning the handkerchief inside out) to sew a silk handkerchief, but I'm not satisfied with the result. The zigzag stitch doesn't work well on silk, and once I insert the thread into the presser foot, I can't get the fabric to turn properly. Do you have any suggestions?

[@SuperStitchSewing]

What machine and foot do you have? Some feet work better than others. It also takes a little practice but I have done silk using this method successfully.

Fantastic. Curious about the initial zigzag stitch. I'm assuming you want it to be smaller than the size of the hem. But I'd appreciate a suggestion of size. I have a D foot. Thanks.

I just use the default zigzag setting of 3.0 w and 1.5 length. The zigzag just needs to wrap the raw edge.

Thank you for a very helpful video and for stating that it takes practice to learn this. I have only a 2 mm rolled foot that came with my machine. I'm trying to hem an acetate lining for a wedding dress. It is probably a medium weight fabric, not super light and slippery like the first sample you sewed. I'm practicing on some scraps. Although I've been sewing for years, I'm struggling to keep the fabric feeding evenly through the cone. Do you think it is because the foot is too narrow or do I just need more practice? TIA

[@SuperStitchSewing]

Thanks for watching. The 2mm rolled hem foot should be OK for the lining. Since it is slippery just make sure you have a good clean cut edge and try pressing it first. Just make sure not to use too hot an iron. And keep practicing the techniques I showed.
