A scroll hemming foot (also called a rolled hem or narrow hem foot) is a specialized sewing machine attachment with a small spiral scroll on top that automatically folds and rolls raw fabric edges into a crisp, narrow hem.

This actually gives me a whole new appreciation for how good my dad is as a tailor. He can do a perfect hem, without attachments, with the sewing machine going at full blast, while watching a k-drama.

If he's actually Korean, this doesn't surprise me. Saw that happen when I was there in the 90s. Amazingly talented people.

Are you describing "unskilled labor"? Yeah. My mom worked as a seamstress for a while with a tailor back in the day when department stores had in-house alterations, and they both could rock a pfaff, but Stefan the immigrant tailor was next level. I hack my way around my two sewing machines forever in awe of those skilled professionals.

My mother worked as a seamstress in the 60s and 70s and has a bunch of little tools like this for her sewing table and machine, All sorts of shapes that do specific types of sewing/stitching.

This is so cool. I'd love to do more sewing. I mostly do repairs, so my sewing machine comes in handy.

As a person who likes to sew. This can be accomplished with pins, cursing, and doing it by hand after ripping all the pins out.

Good to know, I'm drunk and finding this far more fascinating than normal, and no one in the house sews at the moment - I could see myself buying a sewing machine and not paying for the neat little tools that make it really useful

Ask the old grannies if they have these laying around. Some of those old cats have forgotten sewing tricks we've even yet to learn or consider.

What was the fail condition? The video is like, “don’t do this” but I have no idea what changed. Did they just screw it down? Use a different type? e

Yeah - I think the first failure was trying to roll a seam; is too thick.
Second one was rolling too much material so the fuzzy edge was visible.

I had no idea this existed. This will save so much time.

Yeah, it's because of this clip, seen a few years ago here on imgur, that I got one of these feet for my sewing machine. Took a little time getting use to but is pretty awesome.

If your machine doesn't have a little bolt in front to attach it, you can also buy a rolled hem presser foot.

I have a set, they don't work well with some fabrics but they're supper cool when they work!

I have a 1929 Singer that came with one among several foot attachments.. It's awesome. The bunching one is pretty cool too.

Back when Ruffles were cool, I have boxes of singer foot attachments and have no idea how most of them work.

Mine came with a little manual that shows how they all work, so I had a leg up. Not that I used anything but the seam rolling in OP's video

Downvote all you want but it is. And it worked on me last time I saw it posted. Went online, searched for it, bought it. Was really excited to try it out but sadly it didn't work with my sewing machine.

That just proves you're an idiot that buys anything.

Nope! The mannequin I bought in my 20s (named Isobel) is proof of that. That being said, stop being shitty.

Dude I get it. Just make sure your sewing machine is the right kind. I was lazy and didn't do my due diligence.
