Someone sent me an E-mail asking what a New York style hem was. Anyone
heard of that? I can't find any references on the web.

The hemming of jeans by folding up, stitching and then trimming excess fabric?
- posted 13 years ago
I've heard that called a "European" hem before too. But yeah, basically.
There is another method that preserves the old hemmed edge of the jean, but
puts it back on like bias binding. I think there's a site that shows that
too. That solves the only problem with this method of hemming---what do you
do if there is a large flare to the bottom of the jean? I'll try to see if
I can find the site that shows the other method.
