I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.
Okay, well let me say I wish this product had existed a lot sooner! I had a pair of work pants that I had been putting off hemming because a) I am awful at sewing, and b) I am known to procrastinate ;)... As soon as I got this product I tried it out on the pants and it worked like a charm! Holds really well and have washed them several times without any issues. Will definitely be repurchasing!
#GotItFree I'm so grateful I got to review this product! Being a whole 5'0!, almost all my pants need to be hemed. It's just as easy as it claims! I'm also a single mum so money's tight to get things professionally done is not an option and sewing well I don't have time or interest for that!
Honestly I didn't think this product would work but boy was I ever wrong!
I was expecting to wash my pants and the hems would be lose again but I was dead wrong. It held strong! I won't use another hemming product again except for the hem tape also made by Scotch.
Being short, I always have to hem my pants . It can be so expensive to get them professionally done and time consuming to do them myself. With these it makes it much more affordable and easy. I love these for my work pants especially! I highly recommend this product!
I received the Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips for free to try it and review from ChickAdvisor and Scotch Essentials.
This is definitely going on my list as a holy grail product. I have issues with pants fitting because I have short legs and while the waist will fit perfectly, the hem is just too long, even when wearing shoes sometimes. Because I usually wear flat shoes, or shoes with barely any heel at all I used the permanent strips on my favourite pair of pants I always wear.
The instructions were easy to follow and now I don't have to take the time to visit a tailor and get them hemmed and shell out a bunch of money for something Scotch has allowed me to do for myself.
This is my favourite out of the 3 products that I reviewed for @ScotchProducts #ScotchEssentials line. I have tried iron products before to create a hem and the results were quite poor. Once washed and dried the iron on tape would fall off. With Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips there is no ironing or sewing required! Even after several washes, the tape is still holding the hem!
Great product, easy to use and a lot cheaper than stitch it. I'm short so I've always had to get pants hemmed; but when I tried the scotch essentials permanent hem bonding strips I used the product on jeans as well as yoga pants and so far no issues at all (and I live in my yoga pants). The garments wash great and I couldn't find a problem with it. I did get my husband to help with the jeans but did the yoga pants myself. I am going to recommend the product to family and friends.
I used this product on a skirt that I decided should have a shorter hem. I had always loved the skirt but felt it would better suited as a mini skirt - so this product allowed me to do that without having to pull out my sewing kit. Although my mama did teach me how to hem a skirt the old fashioned way - this was much quicker.
I was excited that I was chosen by ChickAdvisors to try Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips. I have been looking at this product for a while, wondering if it really worked and was as easy as they say. It was just that easy. I am not a sewer and had to pay to get pants hemmed. Now I can do it at home in no time at all. It's fast, wears well and washes well. So far holding as well as a stitched hem. I am very pleased with this product and have already purchased another package to have on hand.
If you need to hem your clothes, a problem experienced often by short chiquitas like myself, this stuff is a miracle! These permanent strips are easy to use, but you need to be very careful and take your time to ensure your clothes are carefully laid out and marked or pressed before you use the bonding strips. I used a bonding strip on a pant hem that was falling loose. These are tricky sticky strips, and my first attempt was not successful, because my pant leg was not laid flat enough. I had to start over and use a new strip. Once I got it applied properly to my pant leg, I folded the hem over and pressed firmly. My pants were fixed and ready to wear. So far the strip has held up over one wash. Overall, this is a great product because you can use it easily at home. Your new clothes can be wearable sooner - no need to wait a week while your clothes are altered at the tailors!
