Twin needle hemming - a tutorial of sorts

For so long now I've been meaning to share my tips and tricks for twin needle hems that don't break.
Yep, I actually instructed my son to do this for the sake of a photo!


The blog post that runs through the evolutionary path of my knit hemming is up on the Oliver + S blog now. Check it out and add your own tips and tricks in the comments. Clink on the image link below for the Oliver + S post

    Read your tips over at oliver + s yesterday already. Pretty interesting and makes me want to try the twin needle again, too. Just as you I had too many breaking threads in the past. My solution normally is to use a faux coverstitch or so that looks really pretty, too. But sometimes a twin needle stitch would be what I want...

      Thanks Annika. I can't bear to leave hems unfinished, so getting my twin needling satisfactory was essential.

    I need to try the wooly nylon in the bobbin thread! My kids destroy their hems, and even mine don't last that long. :-/
