Georgene I do it the same way like you described,and found my appliqué scissor very handy to clip the excess fabric.

I've used this technique as well for a bias chiffon skirt, worked great.

Or just get a rolled hem foot for your machine.

This brings back memories of the times that I used to sew for weddingd. This was the only way to tame that cheap acetate moire everyone was using at the time. Using silk thread and this technique on chiffon makes the hem almost invisible.

What a great tip! Thank you so much for sharing it! I've been sewing more years than I want to cop too, & I've never heard it before. I'm about to launch into a skirt that needs just such a hem, & this is GREAT timing!

I love making do with equipment/patterns you have, rather than running out to buy new gadgets etc. all the time.

Thank you for the tip; I'll try it. I'm self-taught and have done some pretty bad errors. Burda recommends that you just turn once and clip very close to the stitching. I did this on a blouse flouce recently but where the back of the flouce shows, it was pretty awful. The second turn should do the trick. I have a rolled hem foot and can't seem to get it to work properly.
