Fine roll hem for sheers

This roll hem answers a question one of my students had when we were in the study collection at the Fashion Institute of Technology recently.
P.S. TO THOSE WHO PRESUME TO COMMENT ON MY FINGERNAILS BEING TOO LONG--DON'T. I use my nails when sewing. So stop it please.

I don't often feel compelled to leave a comment on YouTube videos. But I wanted to personally thank you for doing this tutorial. Camera angles were really good, your instructions were extremely clear and concise. Even though I've never tried something like this before, I feel prepared with enough information to give it an attempt and have a decent outcome. Thank you much for taking the time to do the tutorial.

This is the best tutorial I think I've ever seen on Youtube. Never once did I feel as if I didn't understand something, every single camera view was perfect to show the specific instructions and results, and the explanations were so concise there left no room for misunderstanding. You have an absolute gift for teaching, sir. Thank you so much for this!

I don't have a project that needs this hem, but now I think I'll find one.

and that's why the designers charge for their skills... fabulous...

I’m 81 years old and I’ve never been brave enough in all of my years of sewing to try a shear hem! In fact I’ve made it a point to stay away from shear fabric altogether! Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I’m going to give it a try!!

I thank you for tutoring all of us. My mother had no patience to share her wonderfully artistic talents nor was I allowed to view from her shoulder. It is the kindness of most talented sewists / tailors as you that gives us the courage to try and succeed. Godspeed. Thank you.

OMG yours looks better than the original, very clear and concise explanation without so much unnecessary detour, I loved it, I learned something that I always thought was impossible to do at home with a regular sewing machine, I really appreciate it,

What a great tutorial! I've been sewing for 70 years and have had difficulty with fine fabrics like this. Thank you so much!

I found this while searching for the best way to hem our daughter's chiffon wedding veil. Thsnk you!

[gvweeda]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have always shied away from sheer fabric for skirts because of not being able to get a beautiful hem line. But now I’m going to try again!

I have a bag of uncut silk because I'm not going to cut it until i learn how to finish it.. THANK YOU! ❤
Excellent video.

[angelgreer-jbux]

thank you so much for the tutorial. I have been sewing for 50 yrs and NEVER learned this.

Absolutely brilliant l was spellbound rite from the start your instructions were clear and concise...l wish I knew this 10 years ago when i was altering the hem on my daughter's tea length wedding dress....she is only 5ft 1inch tall and it needed shortened....there were several lawyers of very soft tull... luckily I knew someone who used to own a bridal shop and l was able to borrow a machine that done the job for me but had l known this i would have been less stressed....thank you again ..your tutorial is the best one l have ever seen....

When I watch vids like this, it mks me appreciate all the more when I do come across fine craftsmanship such as this. Many ppl hv absolutely no clue what goes into crafting such a fine garment. It's difficult I think these days to find a quality piece that's actually worth the price and doesn't just "look good". Couture is an underrated art.

i love that it leaves the tiniest little scalloped edge

Kenneth King, a kindest explainer and demonstrator of the techniques.
A true gentle king of encouragement and education.

I founf this tutorial extremely well done. The angles were clear and I shall be watching more of your work. Fantastic. Thank you.

[FlutterFoxFly]

It's such a treat to get a video like this! I can tell you're good teacher and that you love teaching. I really appreciated all the camera angles and skipping forward when you've thoroughly shown the work. I can't wait to try this technique, thank you for so much sharing your knowledge with us!

Just shortened an organza skirt following your method. It was easier than I anticipated to sew over the cord thread. Thanks so much!
