FAQs
What is Prym Hemming Web with Backing Paper used for?
It is used for creating strong, sew-free hems on garments like trousers, skirts, dresses, and coats by ironing the web between folded fabric edges.
How long is the hemming web?
This specific product comes in a length of 5 meters.
What is the width of this hemming web?
The width of this particular product is 75 mm.
Can I wash garments hemmed with this product?
Yes, garments are machine washable up to 60 degrees Celsius.
Do I need a special iron setting?
It is recommended to iron according to the settings for polyamide, typically around 2-3 dots on a standard iron. Always test on a fabric scrap first.
What fabrics is this hemming web suitable for?
It is suitable for most iron-friendly fabrics like cotton, linen, and synthetic blends. It's best to test on a small area first, especially for delicate materials.
How do I ensure the hem stays permanently attached?
Proper application involves correct iron temperature, sufficient pressure, and adherence to washing instructions. Re-ironing after washing can help maintain the bond.
Troubleshooting
Hem is not sticking securely
Ensure the iron was sufficiently hot and that sufficient pressure was applied during both ironing steps. Check that the fabric is suitable for ironing and free from dirt or sizing. Re-iron following the instructions carefully.
Web is showing through the fabric
This may occur with very thin or sheer fabrics. Try using a lower heat setting on your iron or testing on a swatch first. Consider using a narrower width of hemming web if available.
Fabric is scorching or melting
Reduce the iron's temperature immediately. Always test on a fabric scrap to find the correct heat setting for your specific material. Ensure the backing paper remains in place during the initial ironing step.
Hem feels stiff
This is a characteristic of iron-on interfacings. For garments requiring a very soft drape, traditional sewing may be a better option. Ensure you are using the correct width for the fabric weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Cut the hemming web to the desired length.
- Place the web with the coated side against the fabric edge to be turned up, ensuring it's protected by the anti-adhesive backing paper.
- Iron the web onto the fabric according to your iron's settings for polyamide, following the product's specific ironing instructions.
- Carefully remove the anti-adhesive paper.
- Fold the fabric to create the hem and iron again to secure the bond.
Compatibility:
This hemming web is generally compatible with most common fabrics suitable for ironing, including cotton, linen, and synthetic blends. It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first, especially for delicate materials or fabrics with special finishes. Not recommended for very sheer or loosely woven fabrics where it might show through or distort the weave.
Care:
Garments hemmed with Prym Hemming Web are machine washable up to 60 degrees Celsius. Use a standard washing cycle. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Tumble drying on a low setting may be possible, but air drying is recommended for maximum longevity of the bond. Ironing the garment after washing can help maintain the crispness of the hem.
