Great tutorial! Very useful information and well presented! I regularly hem my husband’s thick heavy duty jeans and for that I find that it also helps to adjust the top thread tension quite high and use a plastic jeans sewing tool for coming down off the thick seam to avoid a thread nest on the back side. The tool is called a Jean-a-ma-jig 😊
Thank you, helpful video. I wish you had shown the bulk presser foot, I'm not familiar with it. You mentioned using cardboard instead, but I wish you had shown how that works.
Wow i have been doing hems . On my own jeans for a while now. But yet to do them your way. I like your method best. Thank you for sharing this video. Hope you have a great day.
I usually only put the heavy thread on top. Then topstitch the hem. I may try this method. Your stitches are beautiful. What stitch length did you use?
Why don't you just use the original hem and shorten the jeans above the hem. The only finish you have is to use zig zag stitching to cover the new raw seam. Your work looks great but the distressed look of original hemming is hard to achieve. Cheers
Hemming with original hem is a great way! With this technique I wanted to share a method how to hem jeans without original hem, and that it is possible to do nice stitches with a regular domestic sewing machine :)
