Can I use this to hem pants, instead of sewing, just fold up the hem and iron it?

I don't recommend it as with washing it will start to come undone. I use it for quilting before final quilting. Hope this helps

Yes- I did that for my granddaughter. It fits very nicely under the sewing machine foot and sews together very well.

Yes, if you cut it off the weft you can use it for braiding. It would probably shed less using it for braiding instead of for a sew-in like I did.

I routinely iron king sized sheets and duvet covers. You just have to do it in sections. I usually fold things in half and iron one side then flip it and iron the other.

I suppose you could, but the fabric for these bags is softer and breaths more than the fabric for sheer curtains and there is a drawstring. Since I don't own an iron or a sewing machine that would be a very expensive option for me.

No, it cannot be removed. They have welded it to the back of the ironing board, perhaps for sturdiness. It would have been better to be able to remove it or fold it down. Good luck with your search :)

I think you can redo the top hem without a problem. Then the magnets won't be affected.

I threw mine in the dryer...very low and short time, ironing not necessary, however I am sure that you could, but once again..needs to be low setting!!

The crease attachment does a pretty good job, but on thicker pants it may take a bit longer. Creases are much easier to do with an iron though especially if you're creating new ones. I think overall there are some things that you would still need an iron for but this steamer can replace the iron for most clothes.

I don't think there will be a problem. We ironed to our sons jeans to replicate Fireman's pants, and it flexed well. (It did not stick all that well, however).

I use it to iron my slacks without any problems. I love not having to put up my ironing board. Phyl A.

Sure, you can press pants with a crease easily but, because of the relatively small surface area of the iron, you have to press them in several steps. I press scrub pants all the time and get a very crisp, professional finish.

I have cut the material and gave some thought to fraying before making the cut also. I had an old iron that I had warmed(not hot or you'll melt the fabric) standing by. After making the cut, I ran the warm iron over the cut line to soften the cut area and fuse any frayed ends together. You can also create a hem at your cutline-folding the cutline and frayed ends under. I used a hot glue gun(low setting not high) to bond the hem closed. Heat is your friend-just don't get carried away or you'll melt things rather than soften and join. If you are going to have some extra, just cut off a small piece and experiment.

This would be fantastic if you wanted to use it for sewing, so don't hesitate to use it because I do and so doe's my wife!

This product will make the hem to stiff and crinkly. I would just sew the hem by machine or if you cannot do that just buy some hem tape at the fabric store.

why not? It's not magnetized like the washer or dryer would be but it would work for ironing.

I put the stretchers into the pants so the crease is in the side seams. It's not how the stretchers are meant to be used though. The pants hang funny while they are drying. They hang spread eagle and take more space while hanging that way. In my opinion the pants would look better if I took the time to iron them, but I hate ironing and this is good enough. I hang dry pants in the stretchers and then spray them with a spray bottle and they are ready the next morning.
