You’ll learn four methods to hem knit fabric that range from easy, to nearly invisible, to duplicating the same look you’ll find on professionally-made clothing.
You'll learn the best stitch adjustment to use on your sewing machine, how to stitch hems using a twin needle, and how to perform a blind hem stitch on knit fabrics. You'll also learn secrets for stabilizing hems on knits and other stretchy fabrics to obtain the best results!
No serger, overlock or coverstitch machine is necessary to do the hemming methods in this video. Just a regular sewing machine that's capable of a zig-zag stitch.
