Thanks for sharing. Recently in a conversation with a sewing friend we discussed the hemmer foot and initially thought I didn’t have it. Upon seeing it on a site, checked my presser foot box and lo & behold have a 4mm… now if only I’d know that before hemming my recent project a sheer blouse.

I love my rolled hem foot, but it keeps me humble. Anytime I get all cocky and speed up because “I got this,” I end up not fully rolling the raw edge under. *sigh* It is a handy little foot.

There are definitely some challenges when working with these fabrics, velosewer. I’m eager to do more with this foot, and see how it works with other materials.

I use my roll hem foot on occassion and for soft fabrics it can be challenging when there is a seam to run over. I have to iron this type of fabric to give me a even chance at getting it sewn right.

Dillander, this foot really does a beautiful job, but, like anything else, there’s a little learning curve. Since you’re already doing Kleibackers, you’ll probably adapt very easily. I’m not as adept at close trimming as I once was (or don’t have as much patience), so I stopped doing the Kleibacker hems for fear of doing some real damage. No such hazards with this foot. I just had to spend a little time getting to know it.

Ha, Elle, *that* section looks really good, but it took some doing. It’s a Carnegie Hall kind of thing: practice, practice, practice!

Noile, thanks for sharing this. I’ve looked at these feet several times and thought they may be too fiddly and imperfect. I’m still using the Kleibacker method but am impressed with your hem using the foot.

I have a love hate relationship with a rolled hem foot, I love the look and hate doing it (probably cause I don’t do it well). Yours looks beautiful and I am jealous.

What a great tip, Mary. I’ll give it a try soon — I’ve got a project coming up that is nothing but rolled hem.
