I was in Macys South Coast Plaza this weekend, shopping for the semi annual work uniform. In their large size shop, they had Anne Klein suits and tee tops. They looked very much like the Jalie tops but had a rolled hem for the neckline and hems. These were the kinds of rolled hems that you create on a regular sewing machine with the hemming foot. I thought it would be a great use for a small part of the many yards of power dry that I am carefully storing at home, not to mention that I would be saving over 80% of the price of these tees.

My question is, "How would one go about hemming this without distorting the fabric. These hems lay perfectly flat.
