In this video, we’ll show you the easiest way to make a rolled hem on chiffon fabric, or any other similar lightweight material. We’ll first demonstrate it on the serger, then with a domestic machine for those who don’t own a serger💡 Using the recommended materials and this technique, the result will be a beautiful rolled hem that looks just like it came from the store!✨

Thank you so, so much for this beginner friendly tutorial! Most sewing tutorials just casually mention to "just finish it off with a simple rolled hem" but don't explain how!

@VB-hf1js 3 жыл бұрын

Wow! I've just completed an entire project with the most awful attempt at overlocking with a sewing machine. Watching you use chiffon without your fabric gathering on you was a joy! I am so glad someone did a video using lightweight fabric. Thank you thank you x

I love watching a video with quality stitching. Great Job! I had learned this about 40 years ago in college and forgetten. Now i have a skirt to hem for my mother, that is very light weight like chiffon, and to add to the problem it is pleated in tiny tiny pleats all the way... I didn't want to touch it until I could remember how to achieve a good hem outcome. You helped me remember what it was i learned so many years ago.. Thanks so very much and keep teaching these wonderful techniques which seem to be lost to most sewers today. (plus helps refresh the memory of us old ones). LOL

@mororosticceria7316 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video. I am keen to try Wonderfil for the first time as I am about to tackle hemming silk chiffon. In terms of a serger rolled hem could I get away with just using the Invisafil in the lower looper rather than buying Decobob for the lower looper? What is the advantage of using Decobob in the lower looper?

@WonderFilThreads 4 жыл бұрын

You can get away with using InvisaFil in the lower loopers as well. It was our preference to use DecoBob in the lower looper as it's just a little stronger than InvisaFil (80wt as opposed to 100wt), but it won't make a huge difference at the end of the day. Good luck with your hemming and let us know if you have any other questions!

@kiwifruitumea 6 жыл бұрын

Hi! Could you please do a video showing how to sew a neckline using chiffon fabric? Nothing fancy, just a shallow scoop or slightly rounded neckline. I am not sure if with Chiffon I should use the technique you showed here (domestic machine) or if I should use bias tape. Any help is greatly appreciated! :-)

@WonderFilThreads 6 жыл бұрын

That's a great question! We may not be able to do a video for this, however with a scoop neckline in chiffon, we recommend using a bias tape instead of hemming it on a domestic machine. Since you would need to ease in the neckline, it's easy to end up with ripples in the fabric. We also recommend you make your own bias tape out of the same material as store bought bias tapes can be too heavy for chiffon. However if you do own a serger, you can still use that to hem a scoop neckline. Hope that helps and if you have any further questions, just let us know!

There is no necessity for music, it is very distracting, and completely unnecessary. A clear explanation of the process and good quality video is enough- your viewers will highly appreciate it. Thank you

who has the time to sit there and cut fabric away when you need to hem yards and yards and yards of chiffon/light weight fabric?

@amandagrinton 3 жыл бұрын

Would you recommend this hem for a satin or a stretch fabric? I am a design student working on my stylized skirt design and constructing a mouchoir hankerchief for the first time. Any advice you have would be great!

@WonderFilThreads 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can do a rolled hem on both types of fabric! On a stretch fabric you will want to select a low stitch width number with a higher stitch length so you can get a flat looking stitch. These stitches will also stretch better with the fabric. On satin, we recommend using a light interfacing with it to make it a little easier.

@fahdansari1576 3 жыл бұрын

what stitch type and settings did you use on serger for chiffon?

@WonderFilThreads 3 жыл бұрын

We used a 3 thread rolled them stitch. We didn't need to change any of the settings on our machine, but every serger is different. The only way to know is to do a test stitch on a similar type of fabric and see how it stitches out. If you're noticing any waviness in the fabric, you may need to change the setting on your differential feed.

@MaeFletch 5 жыл бұрын

What stitch length are you using on the sewing machine? (Not the serger)

Just your regular stitch length works fine. Ours was set at 2mm.

Are the threads invisible if you use a colored chiffon?

@WonderFilThreads 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you just want to choose a colour of the thread that matches more closely to the colour of the fabric. Even basic colours like grey or tan will still blend into most coloured fabrics, so the match doesn't need to be super close.

I’ve been looking for someone locally but having no luck. It’s not that it can’t be done, I just need it done very well, by someone with lots of experience which it seems like you have! I would love to hire you for this project! Please tell me you’re available. 🙏 It’s due in mid June so I’m getting under the wire here. Thanks!

I don’t understand the part on a regular machine where u say if you’re stitching a circular garment “I recommend stitching on the seam to hide the back stitching.”

@WonderFilThreads 3 жыл бұрын

Usually with something like a sleeve, there will be another seam at a 90 degree angle to the edge of the sleeve that's holding the two edges of the sleeve together. We just recommended starting your sewing and ending on this seam so that your backstitching will be less visible.

Using the domestic version, did you change the tention?

@WonderFilThreads 6 жыл бұрын

Hi! Cecilia. In our tutorial we did not change the tension. However, depending on which sewing machine you have you might have to loosen the tension a bit since the thread(100wt) is really fine. We suggest you to always run a pre-test using a scrap of fabric to see if there is any puckering. Hope this answers your question :)

How can I hem my satin pleated skirt please the material is slipping away all the time

@WonderFilThreads 3 жыл бұрын

You can try putting a piece of light weight tearaway interfacing under the fabric so it has something more to grip on. If you don't have any interfacing, you can even use some tissue paper as well.

@WonderFilThreads 3 жыл бұрын

@@anabellaparis1 In that case, another thing you can try is hand sewing it together with a quick running stitch, then sewing over it again with your machine and pulling the hand thread out. This will make it a little more firm so it doesn't slide out as easily.

Hi there. thank you for a good tutorial. I hope you don’t mind me commenting on something that you won’t realise is a problem for many people. The background music is far too loud to be able to hear your words properly. I wear hearing aids for a MILD hearing loss and anyone who wears them will tell you that hearing when there is a background noise is very difficult. I hope this feedback helps you with your future.

Who the heck has the time to sit there and sew 1/8" away from hemline then sit there and cut all that fabric... especially if you're hemming yards and yards of sheer fabric?? My simple tip when i'm hemming sheer fabric: fold over 1/4" sew straight line, fold again 1/4 and sew... all raw edges are hidden.
