Hemming Bands
In this section you will hem two bands. The hem will be a flat hem. Not a rolled hem like we did before. Done at 1/8”/4mm using a small running stitch. I would strongly encourage you to do at least one practice piece or even two. The bands are cut with a strong curve meaning they are on the bias and stretch more than if cut on the straight of grain. Follow the video below for instructions.
You will need: Two bands and at least one for practice, needle, wax, thread, small scissors, thimble and a seam gauge.
You will hem two bands with a finished 1/8”/ 4mm hem.
