How to hem sheer fabric

 I was asked to put a long slip underlining under this sheer skirt  so I took out the original sheer short slip and made a scarf for her.  All I had to do was the rolled hem on one edge and it was done!

 This rolled hem is called the "whip and roll hem"  It is so easy to do on sheer fabrics for scarves, formal wear, sheer skirts and doll clothes.  I love it.  Thanks to my sewing pal, Joyce O. for reminding me of this method.

Here is how you do it.
1-Set the zig zag width to 3
2-Set the stitch length to 1
3-Move  your needle on the left position.
4-Put your fabric in wrong side up and have the fabric extend about 1/8" to the right of the needle.

As you sew you will quickly see how the fabric will roll up into a neat rolled hem.  some machines may vary a little because of the needle position but it is a breeze.

I think I will make some scarves for myself now!  Fun!
I like it a lot better than my serger rolled hems for sheer fabrics and it doesn't require three cones of serger thread!
