Narrow hems don't have to be difficult — even on curves! 🧵✂️

I recently discovered fishbone hem tape and honestly… game changer! It made creating a narrow hem so much easier, and I knew I had to share it with you.

In this sewing tutorial, I'll show you exactly how I use fishbone hem tape from beginning to end, including how I use it on both a straight hem and a curved hem.

If you've ever struggled with narrow hems, especially on curved hems like you find on button-down shirts and blouses, I think you'll want to give this technique a try!

Thank you so much for taking time to share the fishbone tape! Excellent tutorial! I would never have understood how to use it without your step by step process. Have a great weekend!

Glad to see your video pop up. I always love watching you but hadn’t seen your channel for quite awhile on my list. So, I’ve got all the ones I missed lined up in my queue! Your voice is so calming to me. And yes I’ve seen this hemming method but I haven’t used it yet.

I use this now. The best hems I've ever done. One tip I received was to sew the shirttail hems first before sewing side seams - that way you don't have to negotiate the steep curve of the seam. I did that and was so pleased. Thank you for the excellent demo. Kay in Dallas, Texas

I don't mind pressing up hems before sewing, but this method gives you such a consistent size even on curved edges! I'm definitely going to have to give this a try. I already have ban roll, so I'll try that first. Thank you for doing such a good job of explaining the process.
