ABSTRACT:
A material and method for hemming garments, especially trousers, by persons lacking satorial skills. On the material appears both a pressure-sensitive adhesive and a permanent fusible resin. Further, it has a row of slots cut into it. In use, the salesman or even the purchaser of a pair of trousers, for example, will mark the trouser leg and place the material on the inside of the leg, with the row of slots aligned with the marks. Folding the material upward until the slots sit along the line of the fold gives a trouser length as originally measured. The pressure-sensitive adhesive holds the material to the inside of the garment's cloth. The purchase of the garment may then try on the trousers again to see if, in fact, the hem falls at the exact correct location. If not, the pressure-sensitive adhesive allows the unfolding of the cuff and a further trial fold. When the garment's owner decides that the trial fold has the desired location, the application of heat to the garment at the hem will cause the fusible resin to melt, become enmeshed with the garment, and create a permanent fold. This technique eliminates the need to sew the hem.
