I do this method and it is just great. I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching ❤️
Loved your lessons on Chiffon /Sheer Fabrics! Worked Perfectly!!!!!
So great to hear it worked well for you! Thanks for letting me know by leaving a comment ❤️
THANKS!
You're welcome!
You just saved my life ❤ I have 4 silk chiffon dresses to hem. 🤦♀
Wow! Silk chiffon will be so luscious to hem! I hope it works out well for you. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I use this method too!
Hurray!!!
Even better if you have a dress stand wear it a few days (the more the better!!) before you hem so the bias etc has a chance to finish stretching, so you don't have that happen once you're all done. Some costumers have had to resew the hem more than 4 times cause the fabric absolutely Insisted on stretching once they were done.
Yes, that horrid bias stretch!!! It's a 'must' to mark it for hemming while hanging or being worn. Most chiffon isn't heavy enough to keep stretching after it's hemmed. I've never had any issues like that. Mark the hem while hanging, for sure!!!!
Thank you so much for your help!!! Loved the video, you are so classy and beautiful and well spoken too.
Your compliment touches my heart. Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're able to receive help from my video!!! Have fun with your sewing!
Love this! What size needle and thread do you recommend for hemming chiffon? Thanks
Hi there! I probably use an 80/12, or 70/10 universal needle and my thread is just regular sewing thread. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching :)
Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much for sharing!
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Wonderful video! Can't wait to try out your method. Would you mind sharing the thread type and needle size you used?
Hi there! I use regular ol’ sewing thread. Nothing special. Needle size I probably a 75/11 or 80/12. Thanks for watching!
@@SewDarnedFun Thanks for the reply. I used your method on a dress this weekend and it turned out so nice!
@SophieNeuens Hurray! I’m so happy to hear this! Thanks for posting!!!
Thank you for this tutorial. Will the chiffon fray?
Not after it’s sewn ;)
@@SewDarnedFun Thank you so much!
Do you have any pinning videos?!!
Hmmmm....can you please be more specific about what you mean about 'pinning'? I don't have specific videos regarding pinning, but maybe I have something within one of my videos? If you can be specific, then maybe I can answer better....or give me another future video idea ;)
Hi. Which foot did you use?
I always keep a Teflon foot on, but your regular metal or plastic foot should work just fine!
@@SewDarnedFun thank you for replying promptly :) what this foot name is? Is it like a zipper foot?
@@aalishas8438 The white foot? It's called a 'Teflon foot' :)
@@SewDarnedFun oh my.bad.. I initially thought that's the material the foot is made of.. 😃
Hmmm…. Well I think it’s made of Teflon! 😆 But that’s what it’s called. It’s not of any special shape, like a zipper foot. Now have I just totally confused you!! 😆
