 Hi you guys! Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside the Hymn. I know you guys can relate when I tell you how frustrating and annoying and inconvenient it can be to Hymn things. It's literally one of my least favorite things to do. But I recently came across this super cool product from Nancy's Notions called the Single Fold and Press Hymn Guide Set. The regular way of Hymning using a metal Hymn Guide like this, moving this little slider thing to where you need your Hymn to be, measuring, folding, and pressing, and all of that takes a ton of time and it's not even all that accurate in my opinion. Enter the Hymn Guides. So these little guys, there's a whole set of them here with different depths and they are super, super slim but durable cardstock. The slim thickness of the cardstock is going to allow your Hymns to fold over it and still remain very accurate. It's not having to go over like a really thick piece of cardboard. Additionally, the paper is durable and has sort of like a felt finish to it. The finish kind of helps in two ways. One, it makes it really glide through your fabric nice and smoothly and it also is intended to kind of absorb the steam from your iron but then release it really quickly as well so the cardstock itself never gets ruined or distorted. I was playing around with these Hymn Guides just to show you guys the versatility of them and how often you would probably reach for them. So I tried them out on knit woven fabric. I tried everything from the three inch depth down to the itty-bitty quarter inch depth. You can see it works perfectly on all of those applications. So you can use these guides on a ton of different projects. Here I am hemming a top. The top has a gathered kind of peplum so the edge of the Hymn is straight. When it comes to garment sewing, every once in a while you'll come across like a curved Hymn for example like a circle skirt. So these wouldn't work for that because they are straight across but they will work on any Hymn or a sleeve or a pocket or anything like that that has a straight edge you need to fold. All right so if you're wondering which Hymn Depths come with the set, you for the most part they are quarter inch increments but they also added in the five eighths inch Hymn Guide as well since that's so popular in garment sewing. So we have our quarter inch, the half inch, the five eighths inch and then picks back up with quarter inch increments for three quarters of an inch, one inch, one and a quarter inches and one and a half inches and then it jumps to half inch increments. So we've got two inches, two and a half inches and three inches. So you can imagine you could make a ton of different projects using these. The quarter inch ones obviously are really great for baby clothes and doll clothes and even sometimes you know adult sizing and then you know the ones in the middle are great for like strapping and belting and stuff like that and then the larger ones are going to be really great for hemming drapery and curtains and all of those things that require a really deep hem but are so long and lengthy and would take forever to him in the regular way using the old metal seam gauge. The guide set comes with a really cool instructional booklet. You can see here it walks you through every step on how to obviously use the hem guides but also how to achieve really beautiful hems. So if you are someone who is looking to perfect kind of like the basic techniques in sewing like hemming, this little instruction booklet is going to be very invaluable to you. It's going to give you lots of little neat tips and tricks to get perfect hems. So I hope that you guys will go check out the single fold and press hem guide by Nancy's Notions. Give it a whirl and see how much faster and more accurate your hemming will be.
