Received this product from the review club and was impressed at how easy and quick it was to use. It’s perfect for anyone who can’t sew and doesn’t want to spend a lot of money to have pants altered, and to my surprise it stayed in place which was a bonus! I’m going to save a lot of money on alterations now! Would recommend this product!
I received these to review from Chickadvisor and they are perfect for me since I cannot sew. I'm constantly taking my jeans and pants to the tailor. I have yet to wash the jeans I have used the strips on but so far they have stayed in place. The strips are easy to apply which is always a bonus. This type of product is so helpful and convenient I will be recommending them to friends and family!
I was INCREDIBLY impressed with the Scotch Essentials permanent hem bonding strips! I can immediately say they will be a staple in my home.
As a shorter gal, I end up having to have someone hem the majority of my pants. The strips (while maybe taking a wee bit to get the hang of to perfect a straight hem) are lifesavers for me to quickly fix up a pair of pants and save some money and time from having to take them to the tailor or have a family member fix them up.
Very quick and easy to use!
I shared this product with a few friends & here are their comments, "Easy to use, but not for heavy material. I think I would buy it (vs using safety pins)". "Easy to use and to fix. I probably would have add extra (I am going to add the white "adjustable" one). Didn’t wash them but so far it is working". "In general, I found the Scotch Essentials are clean, convenient, easy to use and very effective. Even after one wash, the tape has remained intact and stable. I will most definitely be purchasing them for future use. I think they make great stocking stuffers for the coming Christmas season, too. Thanks for the opportunity to try these sample “essentials” free of charge. I can’t think of anything that has a similar versatility on the market." For myself I found more issue with the packaging than the product itself - I think 6 strips would have been more appropriate than 5 with the ability to use 1/2 portions. I noticed that the edges were sticky & stuck to the packaging, sometimes making it hard to remove from the packaging. The instructions didn't really tell you how many strips to use based on the weight of the fabric. I guess only time will tell how long they will last after several washes & if they leave any lasting damage. Thanks for the opportunity to share & review.
Well I must say heming pants just got so easy, no more rolling up pants or cutting them to fit. These hem bonding stripes are the best and so easy to use. Maybe I should past it along to the hubby lol. Awesome product and hope to see more new stuff in future.
My son managed to put a huge split in his shorts. While I knew this was a bonding strip designed for hemming, I still wanted to give it a shot to test its 'staying power'. It wasn't until after I applied the strip that I realized that I couldn't possibly take the paper off or the strip would stick to his bottom.
All in all, it seems to be a great product that I would definitely recommend to others. I can't wait to find other items to hem.
Almost forgot...I got this amazing product FREE from ChickAdvisor. Thanks so much for choosing me to try it out ;)
Got this free from ChickAdvisor! After practicing with Scotch Essentials Adjustable Hem Strips I had the courage to try this permanent fix from Scotch Essentials. Pretty neat product! Fixing pant hems that come apart is now an easy fix without having them re-sewn at the tailors. An insta-fix!
This product is a life saver. I'm a full time student as well as employed and I have no time for alterations to my clothes. Although I'm quite tall I do find the odd pair of pants that are too long. This product is so easy to use, its fool proof. This product is so practical and the price is on point. I will purchase these instead of going to get my pants hemmed!
Such a time saver and now I can buy any pair of jeans without thinking about the in seams!! Literally! My favorite shades of demin are always longer and i just roll them up or inside. This takes all that pain away. I still have to wash my jeans to see if it lasts through the wash cycles. Amazing product and easy to use.
