Fine roll hem for sheers
This roll hem answers a question one of my students had when we were in the study collection at the Fashion Institute of Technology recently.
P.S. TO THOSE WHO PRESUME TO COMMENT ON MY FINGERNAILS BEING TOO LONG--DON'T. I use my nails when sewing. So stop it please.

This is how I like to prepare a pattern for making a muslin and fitting. White kraft paper or banner paper got from the office supply, copying only stitching lines and other details (NOT SEAM ALLOWANCES!). Other people do it other ways, but in fitting classes I teach, this is how I like it done. It's far easier for me to see alterations that go to stitching lines, as well as making sure seam le...

      That IS a good idea. The seam might be a little fragile, but for seams that won't receive too much stress, it would be a nice way to sew them as neatly as possible.

    I was just pointed to this tutorial thanks to a mention by the American Sewing Guild. It's fantastic, thank you!!! Question: when using this on chiffon, do you recommend putting tissue between the feed dogs and the fabric? I worry about possibly pushing the fabric down into the bobbin case.

    • @kdknyc
      @kdknyc Před 8 dny

      Yes--but use a shorter stitch so the tissue will be easier to tear away.
