About this deal

The measuring marks on the Hot Hemmer are very accurate and include straight edges, a curved corner, a true 45˚ diagonal for mitering, and ⅛” divisions. The most common ¼”, ½” and ¾” measurements are highlighted. Thanks to the exact diagonal line running across the Hot Hemmer, it’s fast and easy to create a true 45˚ fold. We thought we’d write a post to tell you more about one of our new products, the Hot Hemmer, and how it can help you get more accurate hems. Measure, fold and iron any hem in one smooth motion. Measure, fold, press. Repeat as necessary for the length or your project. The Hot Ruler with its increased length makes short work of long hems. Both take all of the guess work out of even, consistent hems. No last minute surprises where hem lines do not match up. Pleats anyone? Yes, you can use it to measure, fold and press pleats as well. Below, we walk you through how to use the Hot Hemmer for five of the most common tasks. Flat double-fold hem

With the initial fold pressed in place, simply reposition the Hot Hemmer at the beginning of the hem and fold up the second fold. We used 2″ as a second fold. Press in place along the length of the hem as above. If we measure, mark, cut, pin, press and sew accurately the result is something that is pleasing to us. If we don’t . . . ah well, then not so much. But there’s more to consider. I've been finding uses for it with some fabrics. Not the grippiest, and not the slipperiest. Not the ones that have a hard time holding a crease anyway, because with those it doesn't even hold the "L" strongly enough to re-press accurately as you move along. Not the ones where I really need the accuracy. Not on days where I don't think I can take the frustration!! Fold in the corner a second time, at¼” andagain at a 45˚ angle. The outer edges of this second fold should line up with your first set of crease lines. Press.No question about it, it’s a lot of detail work and if we mess it up we’re going to be disappointed. There’s gotta’ be another way. And there is and that’s where the Hot Hemmer and Hot Rulercome in. Then make sure the Hot Hemmer is placed so the diagonal line is pointing towards the corner of your fabric, with the corner touching the point your 2 hems intersect.

The cut out at the top of the Hot Hemmer can use used to measure and mark a boxed corner for a pouch or bag. Ever try to make a perfect 45° mitered corner? No problem. Just measure to desired depth at the desired point, fold your fabric along the miter line and press.Fold in again at a 45˚ angle – just as you did above, you simply have a cut edge rather than a folded edge. Wrap the raw edge of the fabric over the hemmer, aligning the raw edge of the fabric with the appropriate ruler mark for your initial fold. We used a ½” initial fold. Press in place. Because the Hot Hemmer has identical accurate markings running both horizontally and vertically, it’s easy to move in either direction with your marking and pressing. This is especially nice on very, very long hems.

It merely stays in place while you manipulate your fabric into place for pressing. And best of all both are loaded with useful measuring and angle markings and cutouts. Can't recommend it fully. It's okay. I really love the idea of burning myself less, and I really, really wanted to love the Hot Hemmer after waiting so long to get it. But I don't love it—and if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have bothered. The Clover Hot Hemmer is a super thin, heat resistant ruler with a special non-slip surface that helps hold the fabric in place for the best, most precise results. Fold the bottom hem up over the Hot Hemmer and press in place, them fold the side hem over the Hot Hemmer, the fold line should line up with the diagonal line on the Hot Hemmer. If it does you know you have a prefect mitered corner, press it into place.A standard ½” hem is created in exactly the same manner, but starts with two ½” folds rather than the ¼” folds shown above. They can be incorporated in every class, used at every retreat, even featured as the “Notion of the Month”.
