And, a slight cheat is to iron the roll so that the crease remains during the sewing process. You can even try using a fabric glue, but most won't look very nice on silk... You could also maybe find a local seamstress that can do this for you in twenty minutes and for very cheap, if you don't want to risk it!Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-50412245330432668522012-03-10T00:24:50.071-05:002012-03-10T00:24:50.071-05:00Oh this looks like a fantastic project!

So yeah, my cut wasn't exactly straight, and so it's a tiny bit wonky, but I got better with my second curtain panel. Once you get the hang of it, it does all the work for you. Super piece o cake, and the $5 dollar foot is way less expensive than a serger.Chaneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-90577349779771496212012-03-07T15:05:21.447-05:002012-03-07T15:05:21.447-05:00You could do a merrow hem with a serger.

That would be easy, and the hem would be completely encased in thread, so you could go with a contrast or matching thread. Or you could used a rolled hem foot on your sewing machine, which would do the rolling automatically, so you'd only have to worry about "driving" straight, and not about how straight your pressing was. Since the hem is going to get very little stress, either of these options are viable and easy.Emilee Wellsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-11665664187923714732012-03-07T10:23:42.881-05:002012-03-07T10:23:42.881-05:00I saw this tutorial on pinterest for machine sewin...I saw this tutorial on pinterest for machine sewing a tiny hem: http://pinterest.com/pin/199988039672903582/Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-72219714653827864842012-03-07T09:12:03.035-05:002012-03-07T09:12:03.035-05:00They are pretty amazing, I love wear scarves even ...They are pretty amazing, I love wear scarves even through summer.
