FLEX Silicone Hemmer - Jenerates by Jen Hogg

Silicone hemmers are a wonder tool - how did we ever do without them!? The FLEX hemmer will make all difference to your sewing of curvy hems, like shirts, jackets and skirts.

The FLEX hemmer is able to curve in either direction, and is also able to drape, for example over a tailor's ham, so your hemmer will flex with whichever project you're working on. 

The silicone is heat resistant up to 230°c, it is robust enough to provide an edge to press against, but thin enough to not create a step in the fabric that you are pressing.

To use:

• Line up your hemmer alongside the edge of your fabric. 
  
• Use the holes as your hemming guide. Depending on the depth of your hem you can match to the holes 1cm in from the edge, 2cm from the edge, or use the whole hemmer which is 3cm wide. 
• Pin through the holes hemmer to secure.
• Fold your fabric over the hemmer and then press. The holes also allow for steam to dissipate. 

Have a straight hem? No problem! You can stretch the hemmer slightly to put tension on it and pin it in place. This will straighten out the edge so you can press against it. 

The silicone is tough-wearing and long lasting. As the saying goes, "buy well, buy once.
