I used the Scotch Permanent Hem Bonding Strips to hem a dress pants that has been in my closet for over year. Its costly to get it hemmed professionally and sewing is not really my thing. I like that I can avoid all of that with these strips. It's very durable, so precision is key. Once its bonded, you can't pull the hem apart which is not so good if you make a mistake. It does hold up during washing which is a plus.
Wow, great product, I was even able to get my hubby to use it to hem his jeans he has needed hemmed for months.I would highly recommend you double check your measurements and iron a crease in whatever you are heming before you use these strips because they are permanent.Once you press down hard to bond the 2 sides together they are not coming apart. Hubby has worn his jeans a few times & I have washed them a couple times & the hem is still in. Great to have on hand for emergency hemming and for those that cannot sew.Great product. I would highly recommend Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips. Thank you #ChickAdvisory for the opportunity to try this product .
Was super excited to be selected for these products.... I'm short and always have to hem my pants
I like the idea that I can hem my pants without paying to have it done..... however with that being said they mean it when they say permanent. You have to be very precise and hope you have everything lined up just right. Once its applied that's it you're out of luck if you've made a mistake.
Think I will stick with getting my pants hemmed professionally.... more tailored look and I don't have to worry about making a mistake or having the glue showing threw lighter slacks
It is good quality adhesive that is easy to apply and holds well. A nice, quick hem bonding. Just make sure you apply it where you need to apply it.
I have no idea how to use a sewing machine so I was always relying on others to have time to hem my pants, but with the permanent hem strips I can do it myself and save money both on purchasing pants and services to have them hemmed!!
When I heard that I was getting to try the new Scotch Essentials line through ChickAdvisor, I was ecstatic. I can't sew. At all. I mean, I can't even sew a button. Can't thread a needle even with a needle threader.
I'm at that awkward height of 5'4". So regular are always a bit too long and petite just a bit too short. In the past, I've just always purchased petite pants and worn flats.
These strips are simply amazing! I had five pairs of pants that have been sitting in my drawer for years, and I'm not even exaggerating. I could have gone to a tailor and gotten them tailored, but I knew that could be costly, so I just let them sit in my drawer. (Luckily I don't have moths!)
The strips were pretty easy to apply. I didn't get all fancy with measurements, I simply aligned the strips along the current hem. I found that worked pretty well for me. I did have a bit of trouble with the application on the first pair of pants, which were a slinky jersey fabric, but the dress pants and jeans were super easy.
You need to be really careful when applying the strips because it is easy to pull them apart incorrectly which causes them to stick to your skin and bunch up a bit.
I waited to post my review because I was really skeptical about them surviving the wash, but they got through two washings with no problems.
These will definitely be a staple in our house from now on!
Sewing is not always my thing, so products like this are incredible. A few quick minutes and the clothes are ready to wear! It even works great on quick projects like a halloween costume!
I don't always want to spend 10$ for a professional dressmaker's job. This product is great since I am 5'2!
I love that you get 30 strips per pack. It is also great because I am so short and half the time my pants are too long! This is a quick and easy fix when you are in a rush (or when you're not) to get your pants a little shorter with no fuss of sewing or ironing for the newbies like myself!
My daughter is very petite so we have trouble fining pants that aren't to long for her. I can't sew to save my life so these permanent hem boding strips are amazing!! I tried the adjustable hem tape, but in some cases I would like something that is permanent. I have washed her pants a few times and still intact!! So super easy to apply, saved me from making a mess and attempting to sew!
