serger rolled hem - help, help, help

19 years ago

Hi there, I'm mostly a lurker but I can't figure out what to do now. I have a blouse that I am trying to do a rolled hem on for my daughter. I have spent a lot of time and bought 2 books: Serging Secrets and ABCs of Serging. They are very helpful EXCEPT for when you are rolling a hem over a seam. This fabric is 92% spandex and 8% polyester. So, it is stretchy and not very heavy. I finally got a very lovely hem, very, very narrow. But when I went over the side seam it got big, bunchy and the fabric was wavy at that point. I had cut off a portion (it was too long) and have used it to practice. I have now put it off for over a month and decided that today is the day. I am going to visit next weekend and want to have it finished.

Any suggestions will be greatfully, wimperingly, tried.

Thanks for reading this rather long note.

Sandra
