Formula for figuring jean hem

Step 1. Measure how many inches the jeans need to be shortened. Take that

number and add 1, then divide that number in half. This is the number you will

need.

Step 2. Turn up the hem of your jeans the number you just determined. Pin.

Step 3. Change to your zipper foot and sew right next to the original hem as

shown in Fig. 1 .

Step 4. Turn the folded area back inside the jeans and press. Fig. 2

Step 5. Top stitch the folded area close to the original hem stitching with your

basic sewing foot. Fig. 3 That’s it. Fig. 4
