FAQs about Hemming Tape

Hemming tape is an iron-on adhesive strip used to create no-sew hems in garments and fabrics. It's ideal for quick alterations and securing edges cleanly without stitching.

Place the tape between fabric layers, fold the hem, and press with a hot iron for several seconds. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and ensure an even bond.

Most hemming tapes are machine washable, but always check the product label. To maximise durability, wash garments on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat when tumble drying.

Hemming tape works best on medium-weight, heat-tolerant fabrics like cotton, denim, and polyester blends. Avoid using it on delicate, sheer, or stretch fabrics which may not bond effectively.

Hemming tape can sometimes be removed by reheating with an iron and gently peeling it away, though it may leave residue or marks on sensitive fabrics. Test on a hidden area first.

Hemming tape offers a strong hold suitable for everyday wear, but it's not as durable as a stitched hem. It’s best used for quick fixes, temporary alterations, or non-washable items.
