In reply to Ruth Ann Rousey. Just try blotting the fold line with undiluted white vinegar before ironing with steam over a thin press cloth. Works for me every time.

I have to hem everything! I put the pants on an use my hands to ‘pinch’ the fabric at about thigh level. I measure the ‘pinched fabric’…noting that it’s double. Then i take off the pants, and use fabric clips to turn under that amount. Try them on again to see if any adjustment needs to be made.
I hem all pants to the top of the heel—where the sole and shoe join together. Your leg is the same length at that measurement no matter what shoe you’re wearing. If I’m in heels, great—the heel shows. If I’m in ballet flats, also great—they don’t drag the ground. Try it—see if it works for you!

I discovered the blind hem foot 20 years ago. I don’t know any other way to hem pants, curtains and many other garments and household items.
Once you get the hang of it, you will never go back.

In reply to Irene. Excellent tip. I forgot that when typing my other tip.
