FAQs

What fabrics can I use this tape on?

Pocket Hemming Tape works well on most common fabrics like cotton, denim, and polyester. Always test on a small, hidden area first. Not recommended for delicate fabrics.

How do I remove the hemming tape if I make a mistake?

Try to gently peel the tape off while applying heat with an iron. Some residue may remain; you can try to remove it with a fabric-safe solvent.

Can I wash garments after using the hemming tape?

Yes, but use a gentle cycle. Avoid high heat when washing and drying to protect the adhesive bond.

How much tape should I use?

Use a sufficient amount of tape to cover the entire hem. Make sure there is enough tape to create a strong bond.

How long does the bond last?

The bond should last through multiple washes, but its longevity depends on fabric type and care. Following the care instructions is crucial.

Can I iron directly on the tape?

It's best to use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric/tape to protect both.

What if the tape melts and oozes out?

This could mean your iron is too hot. Reduce the heat and make sure the iron is moving continuously.

Is this tape suitable for thick fabrics?

It can work on thicker fabrics, but ensure that the iron heat and pressure are sufficient to activate the adhesive. Test on a sample first.

Troubleshooting

Hemming tape is not sticking.

Ensure the iron is hot enough, and the fabric is clean and dry. Apply firm pressure and hold the iron for the recommended time. Consider using a higher heat setting for certain fabrics (always test first).

The hem is coming undone after washing.

Make sure you used enough tape and applied it correctly with sufficient heat and pressure. Use a gentle wash cycle and avoid high heat in the dryer.

Tape is visible after application.

Make sure the tape is completely hidden within the folded hem. Trim any excess tape if necessary. Use a pressing cloth to avoid direct contact between the iron and tape.
