To get a perfect stitched hem, I like to use fusible stay tape. This helps to keep the layers from shifting when you are top stitching. Any double sided fusible would work but I really love Ultra Double Sided Fusible from Design Plus. It is very light weight and transparent within the hem allowance. (find it here ๐ https://tinyurl.com/3daspxdt )
Follow these easy steps for a perfect hem:
Step 1: Determine the hem allowance and clean finish the edge. Press up hem allowance. (pic 1)
Step 2: Open hem allowance and fuse double sided fusible to wrong side at edge of hem. (pic 2).
Step 3: Remove paper from fusible tape and finger press hem in place before a final press (pic 3).
Step 4: Top stitch at desired height. No pins required! Finished hem is perfect every time. (pic 4 & 5)

Green is the colour of renewal and balance, and itโs the perfect shade to welcome spring into your sewing room. Whether you love soft sage, bold emerald, or anything in between, green has a way of making every project feel fresh.
This spring, Pantone is highlighting two greenโfamily tones to inspire your makes:
๐ผ Acacia โ a warm green infused yellow that brightens any garment
๐ Alexandrite โ a glamourous teal that works beautifully with all colour palettes
โจ ๐พ๐ค๐ก๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ฅ: Choose the green that suits you.
Warmer skin tones glow in yellowโbased greens (olive, chartreuse, moss)
Cooler skin tones shine in blueโbased greens (emerald, teal, pine)
Let green lead the way as you stitch into a fresh new season.
