How neat! Thank you for passing this one. :)

It's a great equipment workaround! I'm sure there are very expensive machines that will do this job, but this will make a home sewers work look swank without the investment.

I found this somewhere on the internet for on grain seams, for witch it would work a fine treat, but on a curved hem? Yes Please!

This is fantastic, eggie! Thanks so much!

I was so excited when I saw the idea, I just have no idea where. I'm glad that others besides me realized how awesome it could be!

Man, this beats a heat-sealed hem by a mile. And this is good for natural fibers! Thanks <3 <3

There was some suggestion that Roll Ban or Ban Roll, some professional tailoring supply performs better. I was thinking I might order a roll, but there is only this one skirt, and 37 yards is a pretty tall order of belt stabilizer. :P
