I sew stupid

Sep 09, 2007 20:55

I sew, I quilt . , but not like this and I need help with a really stupid thing.   I have a suit, it needs to be hemmed.  I tried to hem in with a strait stretch stitch in a matching fabric.  I didn't like it and pulled it out.  the fabric is a stretch very soft hand poly suiting.  It is a very subtle tapestry looking weave . Do I go for the invisible thread and the same stitch next?  Do I  have to cut the old hem, or can I just turn it up?  The  hem I need is exactly one turn of the old hem up.  I don't want to practice a blind hem on this particular garment as I doubt it will take much more stitch picking and I'm not so good at it.

All done!!
