Product Instructions

To create your narrow hem

Make sure your piece of tape is the same length as your hem, or a bit longer. This isn’t essential, but it will make it a lot easier.
Cut off the top thicker strange on one edge.
From here you can remove a few long “warp” strands of the tape that run parallel to your hem (. You should remove enough long strands until the exposed “weft” strands are the same width as your desired hem.
Line up the ‘frayed’ edge of your tape along the raw edge of your fabric that needs hemming. Place the tape on the right side of the fabric.
Sew a straight stitch to attach the tape to the fabric - but only sew on the horizontal weft strands! Make sure not to catch any of the long vertical strands or this technique will not work.
Gently roll the tape over, to the wrong side of the fabric. You are essentially using the tape to help you create a rolled hem. You can iron the fold in place to help.
Stitch along the new fold, just as you would for a regular hem.
Gently, pull out the tape. If you have not sewn any of the long vertical strands, it should pull out easily. (If it does not pull out easy you can carefully snip the caught strands.)
Congratulations! You have made a beautiful hem.

Start by removing a few long “warp” strands of the tape that run parallel to your hem. You should remove enough long strands until the exposed “weft” strands are the same width as your desired hem. Tip: If the "warp" strands pull away on an angle or your remove too many and the exposed "weft" strands are not even you can simply trim the edge to even it out.

Keep in Mind

Colour & Texture

We take care to present colours as accurately as possible.

However, variations in naturally occurring products, dye lots, fibre composition, lighting, or screen settings may result in slight differences in tone or texture.

If precision is critical, we recommend ordering a sample first.

Cut to Length

We aim to supply materials in one continuous piece whenever possible.

If stock is limited, your order may include shorter joins that total the full length.

Need a continuous run? Get in touch and we’ll check before you order.
