Sewing a curved hem can be overwhelming to some since it can get uneven and messy.
It does take some practice before it’s possible for you to perfect it.
Getting a wonky hem on your first try is normal, so dont give up.
You will be able to master it in no time if you keep on practicing.
There are three ways to do a curved hem: rolled hem, bias facing, and bias binding.
Try one of these techniques if you are tired of getting it wrong.
Watch the video below for full instructions.
Run a second line between the first line and the edge of the curve.
Pull the thread from that second line and gather up a bit.
The curve edge will start to curl in.
Turn it one more time.
Add a final basting line from the new edge.
Gather the curved edge again by pulling on the thread.
Run a stitch right along the edge.
Once done, remove the basting stitches.
2 Bias facing
Get a one-inch bias tape out of your fabric.
Press one edge about a 1/4.
Line the unfolded edge of the boas with the curved edge and pin it in place.
As you are pinning, you want to stretch it.
Sew right along the bias about 1/4 in.
Trim a little bit on the outside edge.
Press the seam open.
Flip to the other side and press the bias over one more time.
Stitch the bias down by topstitching it.
3 Bias binding
Make a double-folded bias tape out of your fabric.
Start on the right side of the fabric.
Unfold one side of the bias tape and pin it to the curved edge.
Sew right along the fold line.
Next, fold the bias tape over the edge of the fabric ending up on the wrong side.
Once folded, the bias tape should cover that first stitch line.
Sew it down using a stitch in the ditch.
