Things You'll Need:
- Fusing Web Iron
-
Step 1
Decide what length the jeans need to be, and form a temporary hem by folding under the jean bottom until the desired length is reached. Try the jeans on with the type of shoes that will be generally worn during wear, so that the jeans can be hemmed with the ideal length.
-
Step 2
Cut enough of the fusing web so that it fits around the cuff of the jeans waiting to be hemmed. Place the fusing web in between the two fabric layers of the jeans and cover with a small hand towel to prevent burning of the jeans from the iron. If you are using a dry iron, slightly wet the towel for the fusing web to be steamed.
-
Step 3
Set the iron to "Wool" and press down on the new hems for at least 10 seconds before removing. Use a pressing down motion instead of a back and forth motion because that can prevent the fusing web from fully sticking. Go around the entire leg of the jeans.
-
Step 4
Check the results once the jeans have cooled. Test the hem by slightly pulling back on an edge of one of the pant legs, and if it is not fully attached repeat Step 3. If the hem is attached and after many washings it removes itself, repeat the process to reattach the hem.
-
Step 5
Change existing hems once the web has been used by steaming the area, and loosening the fusing web. Reattach the hems at the desired length, and steam back on for 10 seconds, or until attached.
