Description
Another original Jenerates idea! A hot hemmer is so useful, but Jen never found one she liked. That got her thinking, why not make one in silicone? Its firm enough to work with even bouncy wool and its heat resistant to 230C. Plus it doesnt distort with steam. You can even use it under the edge of fabric when ironing on fusible interfacing; the glue wont stick to the silicone. And if youre using a sleeve ham, it will hug the curve on that too.
One side has a gentle curve, the other is straight. Both are marked with small holes at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 cm to let you mark your fabric for super-accurate you can use the holes to pin through the hemmer without damaging it, and the holes let the steam through to your fabric.
There are two corner options as well, to help with pressing curves. For the best results on pockets, especially with thickfabrics, add a line ofstitchinginside the seam allowance to gather in the excess fabric evenly along the curve:you can see the result of that on the green wool.
