I received this product for free to review.
I really liked it. I'm short (5' 3") so hemming pants and skirts is a way a life for me! This was a simple and quick solution that I can implement at home. I tried this on some pants, and it's worked great so far. I recommend this as an alternative to standard hemming.
I'm short. At 5'2", even petite length pants are too long on me. Over the years I have bought countless pairs of pants because I love them and have full intentions of hemming them so that they would fit right... and somehow I never get around to it. Its just too much work! When I saw that Chick Advisor was looking for people to review these new Scotch Permanent Hem Bonding Strips, I jumped at the chance! I grabbed a pair of jeans that fit awesome but are just too long so I don't wear them often. The instructions that came with the hem strips are easy to follow. You really have to press down quite a bit on the backing paper to make sure that the paper comes off of the adhesive easily. Within 5 minutes I had a pair of jeans that were the PERFECT length for me!! I also tried it on a shirt but it was a little harder to do on thin cotton. I do recommend that you do this on a hard surface and not on your bed, like I did ;)
I was surprised at how well this product held up to the wash. It was trick to use at first but once it's in place it really last. I am a short person so hemming was part of my routine. Paying to get clothes hem can cost a lot . This is very functional and you don't have to keep replacing it.
I am rating this product highly due to its function and effectiveness! It, however, is not thr easiest thing to use. Read the instructions carefully (really do moisten your finger tips!) and watch the instruction video on YouTube so that you don't get as frustrated as I did! The product does the job, but I did find it very tricky to use.
Wow I was very surprised on how much this product held up in the wash, really didnt think it would last after water hit it but it did. I would absolutely recommend this product.
Received this product for free and when I used it, it was super easy. No hassle at all. I think I'm going to try using it on my curtains too! Works well and like the product says, it's very easy to apply! I'll be keeping this on my must-buy list.
Really easy to use, and very effective. I used to hem my pants. Stays in place. Love it and will buy in the future! I'll be using it to hem my curtains as well. I have no sewing capabilities at all, and is the perfect solution for me.
I got a chance to try this product out and I must say, I'm loving it! I used it on a pair of jeans that was too long. I actually cut off the extra length and only kept enuogh so it can be folded and applied the permanent tape. It has gone in the wash and still came out perfectly intact. I love it! No more SEWING for me! It was as easy as pie!
This worked great I bought a pair of pants, hoping the would shrink a tiny bit, but no. So I used the bonding strips and worked like a charm, easy and quick to use.
