I love this method especially on jeans!! Because the original hem is still visible and as we all know you can pick out a altered jeans hem from a mile away and this method you can’t tell! 💙💙💙

Maybe lighter material and then turn it after your finished so we can see how it turned out.

I agree with those who mentioned “the bulk”. – not a good method.

I still don’t understand how to do this method! I could use a video. Do you know anywhere I can find a tutorial or a video of this?

I have called this a “foe” hem for years, it keeps the original stitching pattern and threads, only draw backs are as you mentioned, bulk and iron marks on outsides. You must keep your new hem line as straight a possible to original or it will show. Next I trim the edge closest to the original hem with zigzag scissors to about 3/8″ then I serge the other to a length (on average a 1/2″) that allows me to stitch it just below or above the original hem line. This only works if there is enough room to get z scissors in, if not use straight scissors, just make sure the cuts are staggered to reduce bulk. This is the only way I have found yet to eliminate the bulk above original hem line as this method just makes a bit thicker hem line I hope this makes sense to you.

Probably. Why not just cut off the extra & run a stitch over the existing hem stitch?
