Einleitung
This guide will help you hem a dress. A dress that is too long may cause you to avoid wearing it. You might have also torn the original hem on your dress and would like to hem it. Whatever the reason, this guide will help you properly hem a dress.
To achieve the best-looking hem it is important to measure, cut, press, and sew with precision. It is also best to use the tools mentioned. To save time you should also consider using a sewing machine, though a regular sewing needle will work too. As long as your sewing machine has a straight stitch or if you know how to sew straight stitches you can follow this guide!
Note that you should prepare the sewing machine properly before sewing. If you are sewing by hand and using a regular needle, check out this guide.
