What is a "hem"?
A hem is the finishing edge of a garment where the fabric is folded over and sewn to prevent fraying. It can be found at the bottom of a dress, skirt, or pants, as well as the cuffs of sleeves. Hems can be made in various ways, including single-fold, double-fold, and blind stitch hems. They can be finished with a straight stitch, zigzag stitch, or hemming tape, depending on the fabric type and desired look. The hem is an important part of a garment's construction and can significantly impact its overall appearance and wearability.
