I received Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips for free to try out from ChickAdvisor.
I used the product to hem my drapes. It was very easy to use it. I love that no sewing is required as I don't have a sewing machine. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
The permanent hem bonding strips are a simple idea, yet innovative because of how effective they are. It is a very straight-forward product to use with good end results. Similarly to my review of the temporary hem strips, I do recommend having a second person around to help measure & mark the desired finished length so it ends up exactly where you want. I haven't had a chance yet to see how well it holds up after washing, but if it truly does last through multiple cold cycles, I think this is a great solution at a fair price. Even though I'm sure it's a very inexpensive product for the manufacturer to make, when you compare it to the cost of taking clothing to a seamstress to hem, you can get a lot of pants & skirts done for the price of 1 professional hemming. That being said, I wouldn't suggest using these bonding strips on jeans or pants with a cuff because it changes the appearance to what I consider to look unfinished.
Very easy to use. The product holds well until now. It makes what it was designed for. This product facilitate largely my life! I’m not being very talented for the sewing, it allows me an economy of time and money ! No more need to pay to make edges of pants. On the other hand, it is easier to use with another person (for an exact measure). Otherwise, very easy to use! Even no need iron!
This worked well but once you washed your pants it came apart. More trouble than it's worth only because you have to re do it after each wash.
I am so excited I got to try Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips! my grandson is just a little guy and we are forever rolling up his pants. I am not a confident enough sewer to hem them myself, but Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips was the answer! I hemmed a couple of his pants and it was so easy, and fast. and even after washed the hems are staying put!!
I love this product. I will probably never have to go to a tailor to have my pants hemmed again. There are 30 strips for 7.99 which is an amazing deal. I found the instructions easy to follow and took little time to do. The only downfall is that you have to wash in cold water(understandable) but inconvenient. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want to pay a hefty bill every time they need pants hemmed.
The best thing about this product - NO SEWING REQUIRED! This literally made my life so much easier. I recently got a new office job and found a pair of perfect dress pants that looked lovely except were a bit too long so this product really came at the perfect time. I used the bonding strips to "hem" the pants and so far its been great. I couldn't believe at first how great of a job they did at sticking to the fabric and really staying. I have checked on the "hems" a couple of times and there is no sign of them coming apart or anything. Super happy with my results!
I received this product from ChickAdvisor for free in exchange for my honest review.
The product featured was provided from Chick Advisor for review.
Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips package come with 30 adhesive strips to work with. For those who need a quick, no sewing or ironing product , to inexpensively hem their clothing this is a great choice.
I had a pair of dress pants to hem and after following the instructions on the back of the package, I was able to do a quick alteration which took me under ten minutes to do.
My only concern is, how may washes before the adhesive starts breaking down. It does state to wash in cold water and use a low temperature dry cycle, which may help prolong the products effectiveness. Only time will tell.
This package came with 30 large strips and retails for $7.99. I used this product to fix the hem of my favourite boot cut jeans which was becoming frayed at the bottom. To hem these so they weren't too short, I cut the thread of the existing hem, which allowed me to start with the full length of the pant and hem slightly above where the original hem was.
This is great for when you have pants that are too long and you need shortened right away, a great solution for those who don't have a tailor or are on a budget. It's definitely easy to use and quick once you get the hang of using the first strip. A definite must add to your closet essentials.
