    Thanks, I've been wrestling with this for awhile since I've been tailoring my own dress pants myself. I have to redo so many pairs and the biggest issues I have was the tapered as you mentioned and keeping the hem straight (not catching too much fabric). When I turn it inside out, I can see how some are done right, you can barely see it and others are very visible. I know it will come with time but I am glad you give an example of tapered pants. I also think I need to get a better blind stitch foot, others I watch don't really move around like mines. I have over 30 pairs of pants that I want to taper and hem, so I have my work cut out for me.

    • @SuperStitchSewing
      @SuperStitchSewing  Před rokem

      Thanks for watching. It really is necessary to adjust for the taper. There are different blind hem feet. What machine do you have?

    Thank you for this video. I just want to say that I wish you would have used a lighter color material because it is very hard to see when you are bending the material for the area we need to sew.

  • @sklee1644
    @sklee1644 Před 6 měsíci

    Yes, I am short like you. I need to learn how to shorten everything.

    • @SuperStitchSewing
      @SuperStitchSewing  Před 4 měsíci

      I use the Quilter's Cut n Press. It's very handy. I use it in our classroom. superstitch.com/product/quilters-cut-n-press-ll/

    Other pant sounds correct since we refer to the whole as a pair of pants.

  • @coolcutsgal2
    @coolcutsgal2 Před 11 měsíci +1

    PLEASE explain regarding the heel mark. Is that the point where the leather of the shoe meets the sole of the shoe in the seam of where they are glued together.

    • @SuperStitchSewing
      @SuperStitchSewing  Před 11 měsíci

      Correct. The back of the pant should hit where the heel meets the shoe.

    preventing puckering on straight leg slacks

    • @SuperStitchSewing
      @SuperStitchSewing  Před 4 měsíci

      The trick is to reshape the leg to prevent the puckering.

  • @YesWeCanCanNOLA

    Is it generally okay to use the inseam measurement for pants at the correct length to determine length on the ones being hemmed?

    • @SuperStitchSewing
      @SuperStitchSewing  Před 7 měsíci

      Sure. If you are not marking them while wearing, you can go by the inseam measurement.

    Are all foots compatible for all sewing machine manufactures?

    • @SuperStitchSewing
      @SuperStitchSewing  Před 5 měsíci

      Each machine brand has feet for their machines. While some feet may be compatible with other brands it is always best to use the foot made for your particular machine.

    How to do a blind hem without a blind hem foot on a brother lx3817? Thanks

    • @SuperStitchSewing
      @SuperStitchSewing  Před měsícem

      Do you have the blind hem stitch? Just use your regular zigzag foot and try to position the stitch so that the left swing of the blind hem stitch just catches the fold.
