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.

I don't often feel compelled to leave a comment on KZfaq videos. But I wanted to personally thank you for doing this tutorial. Camera angles were really good, your instructions were extremely clear and concise. Even though I've never tried something like this before, I feel prepared with enough information to give it an attempt and have a decent outcome. Thank you much for taking the time to do the tutorial.

This is the best tutorial I think I've ever seen on KZfaq. Never once did I feel as if I didn't understand something, every single camera view was perfect to show the specific instructions and results, and the explanations were so concise there left no room for misunderstanding. You have an absolute gift for teaching, sir. Thank you so much for this!

I agree. The camera and closeup video was wonderful. And Kenneth's very slow narration of what he’s doing made it really great. Don’t know if or when I’ll have a garment to use this on, but when I do I’ll be prepared! (Actually, I may just find a pattern so I can do this! 😄) Thanks 👍

@velvetchiharu 2 ай бұрын

@@user-oo8ei4lj6s seriously, a lot of the times these things are being sewn by underpaid laborers in workshops. Next time you put any clothing on appreciate how well made it is and the fact that every stitch was by a human hand somewhere regardless of how cheap your clothes are.

@andromeda6477 I would have thought they would need a basic knowledge of the craft skills required.... but still the skills required on these well made garments are amazing.

@andromeda6477not so, my grandmother was great designer, it was those day about complete garderobes, all in certain style, she was known 300 km away, but i saw her bisy with jacket sleaves stitch by stich, she never left that to others, so many fine work, its not valued anymore nowadays

This is an excellent tutorial. Many years ago, I made my daughter a flower girl's dress for my brother in laws wedding. He brought me the pattern and fabrics. I had no idea how to sew with sheer fabric, satins, or which needles to use. But with his encouragement, I played with scraps of each fabric and tried different needles and threads until I was ready to start making the dress. Back then, there was no KZfaq to refer to, like this video, for a hem for the chiffon layers. I tried the usual foled hem, but that looked awful! I tried several different hemming stitches on my machine until I found that the zigzag stich would draw the edge of the fabric into the stich, rolling it quickly. But this left some frayed threads peeking out. So I cut the 12 yards of these threads and went over the edge a second time with the zigzag stich, making it look clean and like I knew what I was doing. I was so proud of my work. I even received a compliment from the family "seamstress" of, "Oh, you used a french rolled hem." Or at least I think it was a compliment. Which I answered with a very faint, "Ahumm!" And said nothing about my struggles. I would have really benefited from this video back when making the dress. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I enjoyed the video and the memories it brought back for me.

When I watch vids like this, it mks me appreciate all the more when I do come across fine craftsmanship such as this. Many ppl hv absolutely no clue what goes into crafting such a fine garment. It's difficult I think these days to find a quality piece that's actually worth the price and doesn't just "look good". Couture is an underrated art.

I am so happy I spotted this tutorial while scrolling through the line up of videos. (I was planning on watching a Yoga Nidra video recommended by my daughter and when I went back to watch it, I saw this video). I was so impressed with your teaching style…I was mesmerized and had to watch the entire video. You are a such a gifted teacher and sewer. Your voice is clear, easy to listen to and is perfectly paced to allow viewers to follow your instructions. Since I am a visual learner, it’s vital for me to “watch” tutorials rather than simply read directions. Your camera angles and close ups make all the difference in this video. I’ll save this tutorial to watch again so that I can watch it while I try to duplicate this technique on my sewing machine. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise in sewing this rolled hem. I’ll search for more of your sewing tutorials to watch. Great job, 10+ out of 10 ⭐️’s!
