Hemming Jeans
Truly how hard is this? I have watched a couple youtube tutorials and it seems doable, but that can be misleading. I have never sewed clothing, mainly just made curtains that could have flaws unseen. If it matters the jeans are about 4 -6 inches to long.
Re: Hemming Jeans
I followed this tutorial from Make-It and Love-It to hem jeans this summer and liked it:

There is a little plastic machine foot adapter that you can purchase at JoAnn's. It is square and has a slot in it. You slide it up near the needle when you get to the side seam. It raises the foot so that it will go over the seam easily.
I sometimes cut the jean, serge or zigzag and fold it over once, to avoid all that bulk. Looks the same.
