#rolled hems

80 inches of rolled hem later... I love how the trim looks like little black butterflies! Now I have to do the same thing for the rest of the dress

Here’s a new add-on: rolled hems! Unlike the usual quick finish with the serger, binders with this add-on have the binding mesh trimmed enough to fold the covering fabric over. It’s a finicky and time-consuming process, but if you find the edges of a standard binder irritating, you may find this custom option worth the price!

So for hemming circle skirts, sometimes I cheat a little and do a satin stitch with fishing line, which gives that wavy sort of look. If you need something straight, though, you can try making your hem a little wider, or satin stitching/serging the ends so you only have to fold it in once, not a true rolled hem. You want to pull from both sides as you feed the fabric through the machine. Not hard, but enough to stretch the fabric to its comfortable max if it’s non-stretch. That can help your hem lie better. And it’ll look much nicer once it’s ironed!
