Step 1: Prepare Your Trouser

Lay the trousers on a suitable ironing surface; I used an ironing board. Turn them inside out and unfold the hem (second photo).

Step 2: Apply the Hemming Tape

Cut or pull off enough hemming tape to wrap around the trouser leg. Wind it round both sides just above the fold of the hem then fold the end of the trouser leg back over the tape (second picture). Don't let it stick out, it needs to covered by fabric or it will stick to the tea towel or iron and won't hold the hem properly.

Step 3: Wet the Tea-Towel

Drench the whole tea-towel under the cold tap. Wring it out hard.

Step 4: Place Tea-Towel on Hem and Iron

Fold the tea-towel in half and place over the hem. Heat the iron to a hot, low or no steam setting and press hard on the hem for 10 seconds. Be careful with synthetic materials as they are prone to melt. If you are concerned about damaging the fabric, try 5 seconds, making sure the towel is thoroughly damp. If the fabric is delicate or if you are otherwise concerned then you can try a small piece in an inconspicuous area. I have never had any problems with it and I think the manufacturers probably just say this to cover themselves

Don't let the iron touch the tape as it will stick and could burn.

Step 5: Allow to Cool and Check Bond

Allow to cool for a few minutes and check the bond. If it comes apart easily, repeat the ironing, allowing a few more seconds. You might need to re-wet the tea-towel if it has dried out. If it's stuck firm, hey presto! You're ready to go!

Hems can be adjusted by following the previous instructions but instead of allowing to cool, pull apart instead. A mark may be left but the hem can be adjusted. This is great for when you buy clothes for the kids to 'grow-into'. The clothes can grow with the children. The trouser can be washed or dry-cleaned in the usual way once the tape has cooled.
