Does this do narrow hem? From what I've read, it may not do all types of fabric....such as slippery chiffon. Is this true?

You have to take the free Brother lessons, they teached me that I can handle any kind of fabrics,

I have used it on multiple textiles with no problem. I would advise that any iron will make a shine on certain fabrics, so to be certain, test a small piece first. I always keep a roll of parchment paper with my ironing board, to put between iron and fabric, because I don't always follow my own advice, and just want to get going. That paper has saved me some heartaches, especially if I have set my iron too hot for that particular fabric without realizing.

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.

I suspect it might not go to the edges all the way around. It goes to the edges on my standard bed with lots of non fluff material to tuck under. That material is elastic and fits very nicely. So if you don't mind some of it not being covered it might work for you. I've washed mine 2 x now and it has done very well, just like new.

Just received mine and it doesn't slide but sticks to my fabric. I ironed a dryer sheet (which is what I do when I get gunk on my iron) but it didn't change. I think I am going to return it. It gets hot but the steam is negligible.

Yes, that's how this works - it keeps the blanket off YOUR feet only. I actually use it to keep both the blanket and sheet off my feet - I just don't tuck the sheet in at the end of my section of the bed. Hope this helps.

In my experience, It glides ok. I do like the terry cloth ones better but I cannot find terry cloth ones anymore. All I have been able to find is the microfiber ones.

No , it jams in some fabric . Buy fabric shears instead . I tried it on different fabrics and on Jacquard and knits it pulls them to bits . It likes smooth plastics and does well on naughahyde . If you make cardboard dresses , it would be perfect .

I love my Janome . I mainly use it for quilting, but also do a lot of alterations for friends and family. Working with thick fabric and seams on blue jeans is the worst, but my janome goes over those seams, well, seamlessly! Haha. Seriously, my Janome has an even feed system that works like a charm on thick fabrics. Hope this info helps. CB

I have only used the product on 100% cotton. Probably try a scrap of the material and see if it holds. :o)

Depends on the fabric. On a bluejean the barbs NEVER come out but on a loosely knit sweater they tend to come out. Good luck.

re - your question "will it work on fabric"? Tried that last night and No - it didn't hold the fabric in place. But to be fair - the fabric may have been too heavy. Noticed that it peeled clean off the fabric with no apparent residue. So far, have used it only on glass table tops, small porcelain objects.

YES! I have used it on my 14" Brazilian weave and my own hair which is shoulder length I have used it on my sis hair which is barely touching her shoulders and her hair gets that wavy look it's not too tight it falls nice looks very pretty and she gets many compliments! I will say if you do purchase do not turn to the highest heat IT WILL BURN and the iron does not make your hair look like old school crimps instead natural waves very pretty love this iron. So yes this is good for ALL lengths as I have experienced

The temp setting on your iron does not make a difference. This product does not adhere fabrics together. It will melt but it will not adhere. I went to fabric store and bought hem bond by Singer and it worked like a charm even at low settings. Don't waste your money or your time.

OK, I just sewed the edge of one of my towels and it works fine. I also just finished "making" actually simply hemming, a length of fleece for a new baby blanket. I rolled the edges and it worked quite well. When I got to the corners, I did try to do the whole 4 layers and it wouldn't, it was just too much. But the regular hem was fine. The machine only goes so fast, which is great for a beginner. For me, I probably could have sewn my baby blanket a lot faster, if the needle went faster. The control ON the machine, not the foot peddle, was a tad faster. But it was ok anyhow.

Fairly narrow construction - while I love this one -think another of softer and wider construction would be more comfortable for you. Perhaps one of the wrap varieties - while more cumbersome to put on- might suit your needs better.

It's double-sided tape, so probably not. If you were going to use it to shorten them and hold the hem in place, that would work, but you'd have to change the tape after every washing.
