HOW TO Sew a Rolled Hem by Hand - Rolled Hem TUTORIAL 

Great tutorial and starting your sewing without a knot brought me back to sewing lessons at school in the fifties! We were never allowed to use a knot. We weren't taught a rolled hem though, but now I know. Thank you teacher.

Loved the method of it, totally disappointed that you have not shown how to turn the corners while working with a rolled edge. Please point me to it if you have uploaded a video about hem-stitching rolled edges of handkerchiefs or scarves. Thank you!

This is so helpful. I’ve been doing it wrong for 25 years. Thank you for your clear tutorial.

This way gives far more control than machine hems. Thank you.

Could you please show how to finish corners when roll-hemming all four sides of a piece of cloth as one might with a scarf or hanky? I was a little disappointed that you didn't show us how to do that in this video.

This is wonderful, thank you!! How about the corners?

Thanks for your clear instructions. I'm making doll clothes and really don't want bulky hems. It's been several years since I did a rolled hem and needed a refresher. Thanks.

This reminds me of Bernadette Banner. Lovely explanation and beautiful results.

I love that I can come back to this video years later as needed. ❤

Fantastic tutorial - by far the clearest demonstration I've seen on doing a rolled hem. I'm about to tackle hemming a silk chiffon dress I made using an original Vogue pattern from 1939. This has given me the confidence I needed to get started (after doing a small practice sample, of course!). Thank you!

Thank you for this video. 🙏 I watched a few, but yours explains it best. I’m hemming a chiffon ballet wrap skirt I’m making using this method.

Thank you very much for this lovely tutorial. I wanted to sew some fine cotton lawn handkerchiefs without using my machine - I’ve been sewing for many decades but did not know how to sew a hand rolled edge. This was enjoyable to do and I’ve just finished the first handkerchief - looks great and well worth the time. Many thanks!

This was so very helpful! I watched a couple of other tutorials and didn’t really catch on, but I watched yours through and got it down pat. I’m new to sewing and you demonstrated this really well. Because of you my first project has a finished neckline and can be worn. Thank you!

Back here four years later. Using this tutorial at Carnevale in Venice!!

So beautifully clear and thorough tutorial. Thank You :)

Thank you for this video! I had no idea how to do a rolled hem and this really helped ☺️👍🏻

I used to be in too much of a hurry to hand stitch, I was all about the finished project, use the machine, get it done. I feel the enjoyment of taking the time to be doing things myself now, taking the time to do a nicely rolled hem or fix a hole by hand. Thank you for this tutorial

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing such clear instructions.

I am working in a garb project using Model fabric, which is very light and stretchy, and feels like a heavy silk. This is exactly the stitch I needed for the neck area!

Thanks so much for this video. I am hemming a pocket square for my husband's jacket and this really helped.

That is a brilliant way, I've been struggling with a hem and didn't even consider this method. Thanks!

After lots of reading and viewing finally finally finally I've got it 🥰💃🥰💃🥰💃🥰

Wish you used a darker thread so it’s more clear

Thank you for these hem tutorials. I have a very thin fabric that I’m making some of my kids clothing from. The pattern instructions say to run a line of stitching and then cut close to the stitch line and then fold it over and stitch again. Since my sewing machine tends to gather the very fine fabric instead of stitching it smoothly, no matter the needle or thread I use, I’m going to do a hand stitched line as instructed and then do this rolled hem by hand. It will probably take quite a bit longer, but I think I’ll get better results. Thank you for your clear demonstrations and explanations as I think this will make it easier to make that rolled hem.

Have always wondered how this is done! Great video, and a beautiful English accent that is easy on the ear ! 😊

I made my first handkerchief last night using this method...pulling the thread to close up the hem was like some sort of magic! I have seven more to go, and it's slow while I am new at it but the directions were so clear that it was easy! Thank you so much! Is there a tutorial for the corners when it's a square piece of fabric and you are doing all the way around?

You're the best! Thank you.

Thank for this simple, awesome video!! I had to watch 3 or 4 videos before I could find one that actually showed this technique!!

This is the first rolled hem video I actually understand!! Thank you

Excellent! I have some handkerchiefs to repair, and this should help immensely!

Great video. Helped me brush up on my hand sewing. It's been a long time. 😅

Thank you for the clear and easy to follow tutorial. Have you done a video on the nicest way to tackle the corners for say making a pocket square?

Thank you so much for this. I got a disc with my sewing machine that explained sewing a rolled hem but I couldn't make head or tail of it. Your video is great, you explain things so simply. I now feel confident to tackle hemming a silk nightie I made. Thanks so much again, you're great.🙏

Thank you so much! My Liberty hankie was taking too long and was hard going at the hem end! You really helped❤️

Just what I was looking for, thank you for making such a great tutorial!

Wow! Incredibly clear instructions 🙂🙏❤️

Thank you! You are a wonderful teacher!

This is so soothing (and informative). I did not know this was a thing! Wow! I have not tried my hand at chiffons or silks. I am still at the quilt cotton kind of fabric, preferably a solid as it hides a lot of evil. I have also been known to repurpose a bed sheet or two. ;)

ur voice and the background music make this video so relaxing to me aha 😊

Thank you so much! I have just subscribed and am enjoying your other videos. There is a great balance between your academic and creative content. I look forward to more content in 2021.

Very helpful

This is great! How do you recommend doing a corner?

Just a thought, but you might want to make clear that you work from right to left *only if* you're right-handed.

Thank you so much; your instructions were so clear and it worked! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹📍📍📍🕊😚

Ty, this helped me so much! I bought 13 silk charmeuse blanks only to realize the stitching was awful and I had to buy silk thread so I can redo the hems 🥲

brilliant!

Hi. Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

Thank God for this video!! 🙌🙌🙌

Nicely done

Genius! Thank you so much!

Lovely thank you Miss

Thank you for the very clear tutorial!

So helpful!! Thank you sm

My mind is blown

Thank you for this video. I am trying to figure out how to prepare linen which will be a handkerchief so I can mount the bobbin lace I have made. I understand the process to go across a side from right to left. What I can't seem to find is a video on what to do once you get to the left edge and need to continue with a 90 degree angle to go all the way around. I imagine if not done right the corner could be a nasty mess, which I don't want after taking all the time to make this lace.

do you have a rolled hem corner somewhere in your videos. It would be nice to learn how to do this neatly for a silk scarf.

I know what you mean as I can do it. But it’s hard to see. Perhaps repeat with dark thread and plain fabric. It’s a great hem for scarves. Could you show us how to navigate a neat corner please?

Thank you!

Thank You

Super helpful and serene

Excelente.👍👍

Hi Claude! I know this video is quite old, but do you have any advice how to do the corners?

Thanks so much for this wonderful video! Am I correct this is a fairly time intensive and patience requiring activity? I'm hoping to hem a chiffon dress to wear as a wedding guest in a few days and am wondering whether it's foolish to attempt it!

I'm wondering how to make the corner neat.....?

It would be more helpful if you can use a dark-color thread for demonstration purposes. It was difficult to see with white thread on white fabric.

Lovely video!! I was curious though, what's the difference between this stitch- a rolled hem, and a slip stich?

Hello, I’ve seen som pocket squares with an embroidered edge. After I do the hand rolled hem do I then tightly hand embroider the edge with a contrasting color?

I'm new at sewing and was wondering if this would work with cotton fabrics as well.

Very nice, but I am a big ole cheater! I baste the small fold over, then I actually sew the hem. Then I pull out my basting stitches when I'm finished. I may have figured this way out, because I started sewing Barbie clothes when I was 9 years old. 😉

What was the thing in your middle finger

That is not how you do a rolled hem and stitch
