rolled hem
A rolled hem is a sewing technique used to create a narrow, finished edge on fabric. This method involves folding the fabric edge over itself and stitching it down, resulting in a clean and delicate finish. It is commonly used on lightweight fabrics like silk or chiffon, where a bulky hem would be undesirable.
This technique can be executed using a sewing machine or by hand. Many sewing enthusiasts prefer using a serger for rolled hems, as it allows for a quick and professional-looking finish. Rolled hems are often found in garments like scarves, tablecloths, and dresses.
