Hi all. I need to hand roll a veil hem and have never done it before.
Could someone please give me instructions?

Trim off any fraying edges. Take the edge of the fabric between your thumb and finger and try and roll it into a narrow hem. Curse. Snip off any frayed bits you caused. Take tiny stitches with the other hand. Repeat.

Practive on scraps first. It takes a bit to get used to the individual properties of whatever fabric you're using.

One point, don't try starting at a corner! It will drive you crazy. Start at least a couple of inches from any corner and it will be much easier.
