easy to use, handy to keep with you in your purse,desk,travelling

Scotch Essentials Adjustable Hem Tape is similar to the Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Strips. It helps you to hem your clothing. I love to use these on my son pants and I can change the length as he grows. Perfect! I don't remove when washing though even the instruction says so, cause it will be too troublesome.

Probably won't use for adults though cause I suppose it is rare that you have to keep adjusting your pants length, probably use the permanent one.

I am really happy I got to try the Adjustable Hem Tape for ChickAdvisor. I am petite so I have a challenge buying pants that fit me and don't drag on the ground when I wear them...additionally I am an awful sewer when I have to use a machine! I used the hem tape on a pair of jeans and had pretty good luck. It was relatively easy to use, even without ironing. The product kept the jean hem up and off the ground for the entire day, which made me happy. A few things I would warn about, would be that you need to apply these in fairly good light, at least the first time. I found the instructions a little difficult to read, they were kind of small and I really needed the good light in my kitchen to read them and figure out where I needed to put the strips on my jeans. You do need to plan ahead when you are hemming your pants though. This is not really a two minute fix, it does take a bit longer. Also you need to remember to remove the tape prior to putting your clothes in the washer, so remember you will be 'hemming' again the next time you wear it.

Much better (cheaper and can do it anytime and change your mind) than paying for a permanent hem, which may or may not suit your shoes. Always my dilemma as I am quite petite and always have to hem my pants. Hard to figure out which length to follow since I'd like heels and flat options. This product lets you at least try out any length(s) before perhaps using a permanent strip or traditional hemming.

Not for use on all fabrics.

More thoughts:
- Easy tab to pull off the backing
- Nice that you don’t have to iron it on
- Simple directions but a bit too tiny font; diagrams useless b/c small. If this is the true pack size, suggestion to add a larger instruction sheet with clearer diagrams inside
- Instructions should indicate how close to place strips
- Strips are much easier to apply than a roll to cut, but if using several strips minimize the gap between strips since fabric tends to pucker in the gap (I learned that after the first pant let!)
- Note: easiest if two people do it (until you get used to it perhaps) just to hold things smooth and prevent fabric from accidentally sticking to the tape;
- Note: also easier to apply one side of all strips and then slowly removing the second backing and smoothing each section one at a time. I found it easier to hold fabric in hand to close over tape vs. flattening on the board (especially if any stretch to fabric or if the width of the part being folded up is not the same as the rest of the e.g. pant leg
- Not sure how this would work on lighter weight fabrics (outline might show through a bit)
- Not meant for skirts though slightly longer strips for that purpose would be a nice idea.
- Might work on some sleeves
- Package states use of this for going from flats to heels, but note that these aren’t reusable strips; they just can be removed (presumably) without damage

- Important to remember to remove before washing!

I was so excited to receive this for free through chickadvisor. This is th eperfect solotion to get the most out of my dress pants and jeans and allows me to switch from heels to flats and accomodates different size heels too. I am not a sewer so for me, this product was perfect!

Thank you Chickadvisoer for letting me try this out! WOW, no stapler needed anymore.
Yes really that's how much I hate sewing. This tape is amazing, super sticky and easy to use. I have washed the pants since, but not sure how long it will stand up to multiple washes. Definitely saves you time and money then going to a seamstress.

Well I got to try out the Scotch adjustable hem tape and loved it. This was so easy to use and loved how it looked. I love how I can hem my own pants now instead of paying to have it done. You couldnt even tell that I hemmed them. I will for sure be buying this product again.

This product is very sticky and easy to use. It is a great solution for somebody who needs temporary alterations. I really like the fact that I can use it when I need it and then then take it off without damaging clothes. I would recommend it to my friends.

I love the idea of this product. I think it's great that you can adjust your pants length without the permanent commitment to one size. However even though it's a simple process I find it to much work to have to re apply every time I wash my pants. I'm also terrified I will forget to remove them before washing. I would definitely recommend them if you are just looking to occasionally hem your clothes, ex. When wearing heels.

The best thing about this product - NO SEWING REQUIRED! I decided to use this on a dress to make a little shorter as the friend I borrowed it is quite a bit taller than me and I wanted it to look the same way on me as it did on her. I was definitely concerned about the staying power of the tape (not a problem at all) but also that it might ruin the fabric of the dress - especially since I was borrowing it. But to my surprise the tape worked like a charm, was easy to remove and didn't damage the dress at all. This product made the process super quick and easy and I'm excited to use it again in the future!!!
