i'm very confused about how hem tape works, or at least how you use it!
i bought some because i need to hem a skirt i made but if i hem the normal way it would appear too short.
please explain how i put the hem tape on the skirt bottom?
i'm guessing you have to fold the hem tape and insert the skirt inthe middle and then sew?
or is it actually tape?
thanks
