In this video, I'm sharing 5 techniques that will give your hems professional look. Hemming techniques in this video will work on various garments: pants, skirts, dresses, jackets, coats, Tshirts or knit garments. Whether you sew clothes for yourself or want to monetize your hobby and start doing alterations professionally all these techniques are worth trying!

A few helpful notes/tips for better results:
* Press the hem before sewing, so that hem lays better and is easier to work with;
* When pressing hem, start from the folded edge and slowly move to the top; at the top don't press too hard with iron, instead gently glide over the fabric, barely touching it, to avoid over pressing;
* When finishing pressing hem from the right side of the garment, hold iron just above the fabric and give steam to lock hem in place;
* For best results, match needle size and thread thickness to match fabric weight for example, when hemming jeans you may want to switch to size 100 needle and thicker thread to form a durable, strong seam. When sewing elastic hem, switch to jersey/stretch needle and use elastic thread;
* When sewing topstitching on hem, avoid doing back stitches instead leave long thread tails, bring them to garment inside using hand sewing needle and tie knots. This way, you'll create a seamless seam start and finish;
* Trim down side seam allowance at the hem fold to reduce bulk and make it easier to sew.

Hope you'll enjoy these techniques!
