Knowing your options directly&nbsp;impacts&nbsp;the quality of your finished collection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take fine, smooth fabrics like silk: they&nbsp;require&nbsp;a blind stitch hem.&nbsp;Denim, on the other hand, handles a plain single-fold hem with ease. Having&nbsp;command&nbsp;of the&nbsp;different types&nbsp;of hems speeds up your workflow and ensures a more professional finish across your line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-hem-exactly\"><strong>What is a hem, exactly? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A hem is a finishing technique applied to the raw edges of a&nbsp;garment.&nbsp;It&nbsp;varies depending on the style and the desired finish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its primary function is to secure the fabric&#8217;s&nbsp;edge&nbsp;so it&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;fray or unravel, while also giving the piece a polished final look. Hems are also&nbsp;common&nbsp;to shorten sleeves,&nbsp;t-shirts,&nbsp;trouser&nbsp;legs, dresses, skirts, or shorts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One practical advantage: hemming&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;cut the fabric. If you ever need to let out the length again, you can simply release or adjust the hem without losing material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hems are straightforward to execute and deliver a clean finish. However,&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;worth noting that some garments intentionally forgo a hem altogether, embracing a raw or frayed edge. This approach is common in fabrics like jersey, wool, felt, and&nbsp;denim.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/audaces.com\/en\/blog\/garment-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Create your own pants pattern in 5 simple steps<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-main-types-of-hems-used-in-garment-manufacturing\"><strong>Main types of hems used in garment manufacturing <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/audaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/main-types-hems.webp\" alt=\"Types of hems: a simple hem on a pair of jeans.\" class=\"wp-image-214122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/main-types-hems.webp 1024w, https:\/\/audaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/main-types-hems-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/audaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/main-types-hems-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/audaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/main-types-hems-150x100.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to construct&nbsp;the different&nbsp;types of hems. If&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;running a garment manufacturing business or developing a new collection,&nbsp;understanding&nbsp;which type of hem to use and when can meaningfully elevate your output quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the key types of hems to know:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-single-fold-hem-plain-hem\">Single-fold hem (plain hem) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most widely used among all types of hems. The single-fold hem is typically associated with sportswear or heavyweight fabrics where a double-fold would be too bulky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To construct it, finish the raw edge on a serger (overlocker)&nbsp;and&nbsp;press with an iron. Then,&nbsp;fold the fabric inward one to two centimeters, and stitch along the edge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key technical note: if&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;working on a curved edge,&nbsp;keep the hem allowance narrow. A wide hem on a curved edge causes the fabric to twist and pucker on the inside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In those cases, aim for no more than one centimeter regardless of the type of hem used.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/audaces.com\/en\/blog\/types-waistbands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7 types of waistbands to use in your garment patterns<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-double-fold-hem\">Double-fold hem <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a cleaner, more refined finish, the double-fold hem is the go-to choice among types of hems for structured garments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fold the fabric twice and stitch close to the upper fold. Think of it as the single-fold hem, but with an&nbsp;additional&nbsp;fold. This adds thickness and improves overall finish quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the raw edge is tucked inside the double fold, no&nbsp;serging&nbsp;is needed.
