I WAS TRYING TO DO THE PERFECT NARROW HEM. AFTER VIEWING A FEW VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND READING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, I HAVE REALIZED THAT THERE IS NOT SUCH A "PERFECT" HEM, BUT THAT EVERYONE SEWS ACCORDINGLY WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNT OR ACCORDINGLY THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE.
I CAME OUT WITH MY OWN METHOD, AND HERE I SHARE IT WITH YOU. IT IS USEFUL SPECIALLY IF THE FABRIC YOU ARE USING FRAYS A LOT.
Stich 1/4" (6MM) from lower edge. It could be a hem for a dress, robe, sleeves, etc. using long stiches.
Turn up 3/8" (1cm) hem at lower edge of the garment (dress, robe, sleeves)
Stich over again. I have found that stitching this way I can control the fraying of the fabric. and TADA! the perfect narrow hem! (Did I mentioned that there is not such a "perfect" narrow hem??)
