This was good information. However, I wish the cameraman had suggested she at least put a clean band-aid on her finger before filming close-ups of her hand! Looking at the dirty band-aid was distracting.
Will this come out easily? I have a dress that I want to temporarily hem. Will steam a seam come off easily when I need to return the hem to the original length?
Hi!
No, this is not a product that is removable. Once you press it on the fabric it acts like a “glue”. You may be able to pull the fabric back apart, but there will be residue visible. If you are wanting to temporarily hem something I would recommend stitching.
Hope this helps!

Good demonstration. I appreciate the trick for holding mitered corner in place before stitching binding down. “Steam-A-Seam” is a great product. I use it for holding label to back of quilt so I can get it hand-sewn in place.
