Silicone Hemmer - Jenerates by Jen Hogg
Silicone hemmers are a wonder tool - how did we ever do without them!?
The silicone is heat resistant up to 230°c and is flexible so you can use it over a ham when pressing. One side has a straight edge and the other, a slightly curved edge. There are holes at 0.5cm, 1cm, 2cm and 3cm from both straight and curved edges. They allow you to:
- accurately mark your fabric through the holes with a pen/chalk;
- act as a guide for hemming;
- you can pin through the holes without damaging the hemmer;
- the steam from the iron dissipates through the holes.
The silicone is tough-wearing and long lasting. As the saying goes, "buy well, buy once.
