Hemming a stretchy fabric might prove difficult because the stitches could get out of place and worse show up in the fabric all wonky and inconsistent. You would think that hemming a stretchy fabric needs expertise and requires lots of skills, but you’ll be surprised to know that it only takes the right method, and you can do it even if you’re a beginner in sewing. What’s even better is that the stitches are invisible even if you stretch the fabric on purpose.

How to Make an Invisible Hem on a Stretchy Fabric:
Lay the fabric on your work surface with its wrong side facing up, then roll the hem from the back, and in it in place. Thread the needle and start stitching from left to right, take the first stitch on the fold, then take a small stitch on the fabric just right above the fold, and continue alternating the stitch on the fold and above the fold. Remove the pins, then tie off the thread, and trim off the excess.
