I’ve watched so many different hemming videos and this is the ONLY video that talks about the adjustment for a tapered leg. Thank you so much for thoroughly explaining it!!

[ambreeniramahmad]

So good to see actual pieces of garment for demonstration instead of fabric scraps like most tutorials

Thank you for using actual pants. The blind hem is so hard for my brain to figure out this was very helpful. 😍

[jefflenker]

Thank you for your amazing video, I was having a hard time figuring out my folds and your video showed me….

Thanks, I've been wrestling with this for awhile since I've been tailoring my own dress pants myself. I have to redo so many pairs and the biggest issues I have was the tapered as you mentioned and keeping the hem straight (not catching too much fabric). When I turn it inside out, I can see how some are done right, you can barely see it and others are very visible. I know it will come with time but I am glad you give an example of tapered pants. I also think I need to get a better blind stitch foot, others I watch don't really move around like mines. I have over 30 pairs of pants that I want to taper and hem, so I have my work cut out for me.
