I actually just bought a Brother 2340CV Coverstitch machine for hemming my sewing projects today, but this is an excellent tutorial for a skill that ‘s just useful to have. (before today) I actually use this same folding technique for hemming pants and sleeve cuffs with my serger as it’s quick, fast and easy, and I’m not a strict measure&pinner so it works great for me. I hemmed a bunch of my daughter’s outgrown pants into summer shorts this way…Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial!!

And then i needed to do it again and it messes with my brain. I eventually had to go get the other pants to figure it out. THis time, i blooged about it. But I know I'm going to forget again and have to bring out the pants once more to figure it out!

I have tried it several times and the zig zag either doesn't hit the fabric or grabs way too much of it. I usually have to rip it all out at least twice and then I usually decide that good enough is the new perfect.

I don't think I have a foot like that, but I do think I have that stitch on my machine. That will make hemming pants so much faster (and more permanent) than the hand-hemming I do that always seems to come out! :) Thanks for the tutorial!

Once I pressed the hem I thought it looked quite good. I think the problem came from using a patterned fabric and therefore the thread was suitable for some of the pattern but not for all of it!

When I get round to it I'll put it on my blog
