@@jakefriesenjake you make a good point. The hemming fee also includes the labor and some of them hand stitch the hems which take more time. I was able to afford $15 a pant a year ago to get all my pants hemmed. Up to this day, the hemming has stood strong through several washings and dry cycles. Now, I am wanting to save money and will try hemming this method for the two new pants I bought.

To save permanent creases when you turn them back you can iron them not inside out first.

Good idea

I wonder if it's a good idea to actually snip off that original 1/2-inch hem that the jeans come with. Then it would lay much flatter when ironing the tape on.

@efd

You can do that, only concern is that with a cut edge, it will fray over time. With the tape method, you can't really roll and protect the exposed edge.

Before I try this, I do have two questions (and maybe you addressed them in the video and I missed it) 1. If I mess up, can I remove it even after ironing? 2. Will I have to re-do this every time I wash? Or is it wash-resistant

You can’t really undo it, the tape melts and fuses with the fabric. You might be able to get it apart but I would be worried about tarring the fabric. It does not come out in the wash unless you don’t get it fully fused. Take your time and just make sure it’s how you want it before applying heat

lol.no.

The original hem is of a smaller circumference than where it meets the leg when folded and results in surplus fabric pleating. I'd suggest you learn to sew or find someone who can. Trouser hems like this are pretty basic, but blind stitched ones are more difficult and require a special machine or be very carefully hand sewn.
