This is the best method, there are no other ways to do it. This is it!

Not only do you make this procedure look less daunting, with great professional-looking results, but your calm manner and voice are SUPER pleasant to listen to and are reassuring! I’m ready to jump on this technique and try it out, but will heed your advice about having the right tools to do it before I give it ago…Thanks a million!

This technique of hiding the sewn seam inside the hem is the best of all the tutorials I've seen on You tube!
It's by far less bulky and noticeable to the naked eye. This is pure genius!!!

That was an amazingly helpful video! On my way to hemming my first pair of jeans! This 59M teaching himself how to tailor his clothes!

I’ve watched many videos on hemming jeans with the original hem. In my opinion, yours is the best. Thank you!

Like I said before, I really don't have much interest in Clothes Design or Tailoring but I am just fascinated when watching true Pros such as Shea do their stuff...She is just magnetic...I can't get enough of seeing her get her work done in such an instructive and fun way, it is really interesting...Methinks my Girlfriend is gonna start getting jealous of Shea... :)

I have an old fashioned tool from 30+ years ago called a Jean-a-ma-jig. I find it indispensable in getting over the thick seems in jeans. Thanks for this video. I’m getting back to hemming my own jeans now that I’m retired.

Your video was the easiest to follow of all the tutorials I've watched for this. Thank you!

[saviness]

I've been watching many videos lately on hemming techniques keeping the original hem. This one's the best for me. You didn't confuse me. Have 3 pairs of jeans waiting on me. Great work. Will be watching you for new ideas. Thank you.

Great tutorial! My husband just paid $25 to have his jeans hemmed. I think the seamstress used your method. I am hemming mine now following your directions. Thank you.

[samhutson]

I love it!! It’s at times I can’t get the right length of pants! 34”x29; I can now buy the right waist size and hookup the length myself!?! Thank you thank you!!🌹👍🏽🌹

This is the best denim ham I have ever seen you make it look easy first, it was a little bit iffy, but watching it a second time you made it look so easy thank you

[jbk]

I love your calming voice as I cut off 4 inches off my jeans never to return back to the way they were again! gah
You did a great job describing every step and visualization. Thanx

[BuiltInBrooklyn]

This was the best tutorial I’ve watched so far, thank you!

[joannaboatman]

I am so impressed with your tutorial, never hemmed anything before but you gave me the confidence to try.
The tip about lifting up the pressure foot whilst jumping over the seams was crucial as my machine would NEVER have managed it otherwise.
Will be following for more tips, thank you 😊
