Burnley and Trowbridge Co. | Learn to Hand Sew: Rolled Hem @BurnleyandTrowbridge | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 15 minutes ago.
Welcome to another Quick Stitch tutorial!

The sixth technique in our hand sewing series is the rolled hem. This technique is used for finishing raw edges on fine items like millinery and ruffles. The technique we show in this tutorial is not the modern rolled hem technique, but rather what we believe is being done in the 18th century to achieve tiny, fine hems. Left handed? We have you covered!
