Hi,

Why did you cut a notch in the hem allowance when you hand sewed the pants but did not do it when you machine sewed the hem? Was it because the hems  were  shorter?Thanks.

Re: Clipping a Notch in the Pants Hem Allowance

Dear sewsewmom,

Yes, I clipped a notch in the hem allowance only for the one that was wider. The shorter hem allowance does not need to be clipped. If you notice the section that is not cut in the wider hem allowance is almost the same as the narrower hem allowance.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
