Hemming Tapes

Hemming tape is a type of fusible adhesive designed to be used to hem and take in garments. Hemming tapes can be used easily and requires less work than creating a traditional hem, making it appealing to dress makers and crafters. Hemming tapes delivers convenience and ease of sewing a hem. There are various types of hemming tapes that suits every dressmaker's needs.

Hemming tapes are not just used to create a new hem, it as well be use to repair a loose hem. Over time, many hems start to lose stitches especially in high stress areas and hemming tapes can be used for a quick and easy repair making sure that the loose stitches do not keep unraveling causing the whole hem to fall apart. Hemming tapes are also used for people in a hurry to make a hem. They can be convenient allowing you to hem a garment quickly. And it is also used to hold a hem temporarily until you have a chance to sew it, this enables dressmakers and crafters to test and see the hem before making it a permanent hem. This is helpful especially with slippery or heavy fabrics which tend to pull out of place while they are being sewn.

Hemming tapes are available in various sizes, widths and even strengths that meet your needs. Using the right type of hemming tape on the right fabric is important. Lightweight hem tapes that are designed for fabrics such as cotton or silk will not go well with heavyweight fabrics such as corduroy or brocade. It is also important to consider the width of the hemming tape, as you do not want the hem tape to stick out that will potentially make the wearer of the garment uncomfortable.
