Wow Sam, I am so flattered, thank you so much!

Thank you so much! It has great results :D

Thanks so much for watching 🥰🥰🥰

Yessss. Great instincts and good sense of taste!

Thank you!!!

Thank you! It’s my pleasure!

Thank you so much, Judy! I'm glad to have helped :))

So nice to hear 🥰 Thanks for letting me know!

Ouuu nice I’m so glad to hear that! 😁😁

Thank you so much, Andy!!

Percita! Thank you that’s very kind 😊😊

Thank you Samuel. Good luck!

Thanks 🥰 😊

Hola!! Thank you so much!

If you already unpick the thread. Try to do it this way: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iLJKN3u2zcU.html

Yes. I agree with you. It's just that in some cases this is the only way to go. Cheers!

Thanks so much!

Agreed! Thank you ☺️

Thank you so much for your kind words! Thank you also for your suggestion that’s a great idea! Essentially you will have to taper the original hem to fit the new circumference but we would love to make a video on how to make it look like new! :)

I have the same problem, cant wait to watch you do it x

Thank you!!

Muchas gracias Mayra!

Thank you so much!!!!

Jajaja muchas gracias!!

Yay!! I’m so glad to hear!!

Thanks 😊

Ahh yes we are planning to make a euro-hem tutorial soon, please stay tuned :)

Hi! We just uploaded a video with a eurohem as well as a tapering of jeans with a eurohem. Hope you like it!

My pleasure 🥰

Thank you for subscribing! Good luck :)

I have to work on this. I think this video might help you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hRl7fuNBNlY.html Cheers 🙂

Thank you!!!!!

Downtown Cobbler you’re welcome and I meant to say RELAXING!! 🤣

Hi Sandi! You pretty much have to know how much you need to shorten it. Let's say you need 3". Then you measure 3" up from the top of the hem and mark a line. Now you are going to sew the top of your hem with the line you just did. Now you got it. A jeans shorten by 3"! I hope this helps 🤗

I have a tutorial for the eurohem! Here it is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IjD9fyoDJEk.htmlsi=2y32K74jaj7hNHJH

There are some considerations that are shown in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DiO69lFyhIQ.html Cheers 😊

Thank you very much! I'm stoked to hear you had great results. We don't have any at the moment but thank you for suggesting it, stay tuned! :)

Hi there! We just uploaded a video on how to taper jeans while also accomplishing a eurohem. Please give it a watch I think you would like it! :)

@@DowntownTailoring Thanks so much for replying! I'll definitely be going to be taking notes!

Oh yes! That’s another way to do it! We will soon post a video with that method, stay tuned! We have a fantastic tip to do that and it looks amazing ;)

Yes! I don't know how saggy are your husband's pants so I'll guess. You can open the inseam from knee to knee and push the "U" crotch by 3/4" at the back. The front of the pants will remain the same. Take or give depending on the size and how big they are. I hope this makes sense, otherwise, let me know.

Thanks so much Sandra. Yes it would! You can do this even with leggings... crazy right?

Yes thank you! I actually have a video on how to decide between eurohem, American hem, and plain hem with a free flowchart as well ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DiO69lFyhIQ.html I agree that knowing the pros and cons to each method is very valuable as to making the best decision for your clothing and in my case, for my clients

I know what you mean. Some customers like to keep the look of the wash out of the hem. But others don't mind. I'd say it is a matter of preference. Cheers 🙂

Yes. With the Eurohem you can achieve pretty much the same look. This video will show you how to do it. Cheers 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iLJKN3u2zcU.html

@@DowntownTailoring thanks a lot!

I try to mimick the one that’s originally on the jeans which is usually around 4. To be honest, I wouldn’t know exactly, as I set my machine to make longer stitches.

If you are interested in knowing what kind of hem is better. You can watch the following video. It details very well what is best for different types of jeans and hem. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DiO69lFyhIQ.html Happy sewing!!!

Yes you’re right, but in that case you can reduce the size of the hem before putting it back ... it takes more work but it’s possible!

Hi there! We just uploaded a video where we tapered jeans and did a eurohem. We also had to reduce the size of the hem. Hope you can check out the video! :)

Yes. That's another way. And curiously when I did that on another video, some commented why you didn't keep the original hem 🙃 It tells me we all have different taste. But yes, I cut fold and sew more frequently than adding the original hem as per customers' requests. Cheers!

Yes! This is a great way to do it too. In this case I didn't do it this way for two reasons. The main reason was because the customer wanted an irregular length (shorter at the back) and that complicated the folding and this gave me the second one and it is that we can't just fold it all the time. Sometimes the pants need to be shorter more than 6" or irregular as this case and this can complicates the math. Anyways I've always kept thinking that I should clarify you can fold it if is possible, that's what I did on my last video about jeans hem. I still think I should clarify this further. Thanks for your comment 😊
