Tip Tuesday: The Secret to Perfect Curved Hems
If you've ever struggled to stitch a smooth ¼" hem on a curved edge, Ron Collins has a technique you'll want to try.
In our latest video, Ron demonstrates how to use Ban-Rol to create beautifully even, narrow hems with confidence.
Why people love using Ban-Rol for hems:
- Consistent ¼" hem width every time
- Helps prevent stretching on curved edges
- Makes pressing and folding narrow hems easier
- Reduces puckering and rippling
- Reusable and suitable for many lightweight and medium-weight fabrics
Fun fact: Although Ban-Rol was originally created as a waistband stabilizer, it has become a favourite notion among garment sewists for creating flawless narrow hems.
Watch the full demonstration on our social media channels and discover why this simple sewing notion has earned a permanent place in so many sewing rooms.

A Waddle Worth Celebrating
We're so excited to celebrate this incredibly talented waddle of OOH friends!
After falling in love with Floe the Fairy Penguin from Inspirations Issue #123, Chris, Barb, Nan, Judy, and Kathy each stitched their own beautiful Floe. Their collection was recently featured in the Inspirations Newsletter (Issue 525), and we couldn't be happier to see their stunning work recognized.
Congratulations, ladies! Your stitching, attention to detail, and creativity have made for one very adorable waddle of penguins.
Feeling inspired? We have wool felt packs available for both Floe the Fairy Penguin and her feathered companion, Harnie the Hen (from Inspirations Issue #129), making it easy to gather everything you need for your own stitching adventure.
We love seeing what our OOH community creates—be sure to share your finished projects with us. Who knows... maybe you'll be featured next!
