Re: Hemming Pants

Dear rrunnerss1,

If you have a straight hemline, the excess fabric at the top edge of the hem allowance along the front and back crease lines can be folded in like a pleat when you sew the hem.

If you have a rounded hemline, you need distribute the excess fabric evenly around the top edge of the hem allowance.

Make sure to baste the hems by hand do a fitting before you finish the hem.

Happy Sewing,

Nehzat
