BrianSews - Hemming foot tutorial

[titianmom]

Brian, love your videos. I've been fighting with my hemmer feet, ha! They're winning BTW. Thanks for this one, I think I'll watch it about 10 times and give my feet another attempt.... :)

[triciaweaver34]

would it be faster to do it manually?

[creativebeam1]

Clear demonstration and instructions . Thank you for that.

Got this foot in the mail yesterday and was very intimidated by all of the other instructions and tutorials I had seen and read, but by using yours I am hemming like a maniac already. You are an amazing teacher darling man! Thank you!

Thanks, Brian, I always wondered how to use that little foot, now I know!

Thanks so much for the tutorial! I just picked up an 1880s Domestic Treadle Sewing Machine and it has a ton of attachments and several rolled hem feet in a variety of sizes. I had no idea how to use them! I can't wait to try them out.

I am glad I saw this because it makes me realize that I am not ready for one of these feet yet.  I love these videos. I have all these feet with my sewing machine and I can now work out which foot does what.

hi, i'm wondering if you are hemming something how much you leave when you trim away. is it twice the size of the hem? on some materials it's REALLY hard to trim leaving 1/4 inch! and can you do this with a pressed hem? Like when I'm shortening something I generally press first on the new hemline. then i have the new hem exactly where I want it.

Thanks for posting this! By the way, I love the way your sewing machine sounds!

Thanks for posting this tutorial video. I have search several and this is the best one - close up is great!

[lcorri]

Thank you! I had been looking for a close-up tutorial, and yours is VERY clear. Now for the fun part, to try it out!! :)

I just got my hemming foot today and I just couldn't get the hang of it. Thank you so much for posting this!! It was so helpful!

Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I am a real new person to sewing and had no idea how one could get a hem that close without hand sewing it. Your tutorial was well detailed in showing exactly how to feed your fabric in, as well as detailing some of the difficulties that even the most experienced seamstress needs to look out for while feeding the fabric in.

I must agree with another poster in that your Vigorelli has a nice noise. Boy, I thought my Singer Scholastic was a soothing noise.

I love the sound of your machine!. And I need one of those too

[BRemlinger]

@atrinka1 I did this video on my Vigorelli which is my most favorite machine right now, one of the reason IS the way it sounds!

[nerdynap]

Thank you for making this video, very detailed and high quality. I need lots of practice time with my RH foot. Shorter stitch and slower speed, got it!

Thanks Brian! I want to start shortening and slimming my oxford dress shirts so I can wear them untucked. I have an old Kenmore sewing machine I bought at a thrift store without extra attachments. Where can I find a hemming foot attachment for it?

[BRemlinger]

@sam29232 Hey Sam, it depends on what shank style you have on your kenmore. Kenmore machines could have a high, super high, or low shank. I'd suggest getting a snap on shank adapter so you can use readily available snap on feet. There's a set on ebay that includes a hemming foot for less than $20.
