AC_S: Hem Your Own Pants & Blind Stitch Machine Sign-Off

Have you ever wanted to hem your own pants but worried they wouldn't look professional? Join this class to learn 3 hem styles and sign-off the blind stitch machine too!

In this class, we will learn 3 commonly used techniques for hemming pants: blind stitching, top stitching, and an "original jeans hem." We will cover the general differences between an industrial and domestic sewing machine as we learn to set up and adjust the industrial blind stitch machine. You will learn to prep and finish all three hems using a combination of the blind stitch machine, a serger, and a domestic sewing machine.

Join us and find out just how EASY a professional hem can be!
