How to Stitch a Rolled Hem


Sewing a rolled hem is a great way to give your fabric edges a clean and refined finish, especially on delicate or lightweight materials like silk, chiffon, or cotton. This technique creates a narrow, tightly stitched hem that elegantly rolls the fabric’s edge under itself, preventing fraying and adding a professional touch to your project. Whether you’re hemming a flowing skirt, finishing the edges of a scarf, or adding a neat detail to a tablecloth, a rolled hem is a versatile and stylish choice.
