How to hem a wedding dress using stitch witchery 

I just tried this on a client’s bridesmaid dress and it worked beautifully!!! The only thing is the edges where there were seams did not want to fuse completely so I went in with some quick hand stitching to secure them. Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for posting! I am hemming a wedding dress with original hem fused. I'll alter with your method! Now I'm looking forward to getting done..the thought of hand sewing had me in not happy place! Love that you eyeball things as well.

Thos is incredibly clever ty for sharing

Thanks so much for showing this, skirts are such a pain to hem & this is so much better!

This was such an informative video! Thank you so much - I've been binge watching you videos for the past couple weeks. So inspiring. I've started off by using patterns- trying to get the basics down with how to finish garments to a high standard, zippers etc.. Slowly but surely making progress

Beautiful, thanks for show the dress wedding , regards from Mexico .

Thank you dear, please is it advisable to put linen in a mermaid skirt wedding dress with a duchess fabric

Genius!

I'm following you from Egypt and I want to make a video of how to take Sizes

I love it!

This is amazing

this is so out of the blue, but seeing all those pins stuck in the bed of your machine just made me smile... so familiar.. I think there is a magnet in the oil pan, to catch random stuff actually. Do you have an oil pan on yours? PS: great tip on basting the stitch witchery first, I'll definitely try to do that next time I use it.

Verey nice..

Hi Amanda hwo are you doing today I making a dresses out of wool for babies and they have bow at the back of it and it's beautiful

The good: for brides in a budget who only care about the however I will never let her work on any of my dresses. I’ve owned a bridal shop for alimony 6 years now. What I’ve learned is even the most talented of seamstress measure. For Some things it isn’t work the risk of getting it wrong.

What is Your flower girl dress price range? L❤️VE your vids!

I am sorry, I really am I really hate to say this, but my jaw dropped when I saw this. I would flip the f out if a seamstress put that cheap crap on my wedding dress, it’s not a $10.00 kids dress. It’s a wedding dress, that is usually expensive, and is the dream of the bride, that’s put her trust in you to alter it professionally, which usually isn’t the quickest 2 minute option, and to cheapen it by using that crap and not have it properly altered, no, no way, I would freak out. It’s like disrespecting the gown and the client. Just because most brides don’t know what that crap is, doesn’t make it ok to use. Omg. I’m shocked. Especially by a “couture seamstress”. Then you are teaching other people to do it this way? I love that there are people in the industry willing to make videos and teach others, but it doesn’t do any good if you don’t at least show how the proper way to do it is. There’s a lot of hand sewing when it comes to bridal alterations ESPECIALLY couture. You don’t see a line if you handstitch a blind hem, properly, and it doesn’t take long, which would’ve the correct way if a client doesn’t want to see the stitching from the alteration. And stitch Witchery isn’t foolproof as it often pulls away from the fabric especially as it ages, it will catch on the satin and pull it. That’s just a no on a wedding gown 😬 I’m sorry that my comment is harsh I really am. But I can’t imagine a proper seamstress in business and teaching others to do it this way. I can say the only time I may have ever used it is to baste a zipper, and it’s not permanent. It washes away. I just feel as though wedding gowns deserve care and respect as do the clients. And when teaching it’s important to teach properly. Off my soapbox
