    I also enjoyed this product. Hemming pants can be so expensive, and I found this an affordable ad easy way to do it at home since I love DIY.
    Brand new dress pants for work were way too long, needed a quick fix for a meeting!
    HELLO bonding strips!!! Totally saved the time of waiting for someone else to hem my pants and it was done in a flash. Great at home product for non-sewers!

    Hello where have you been all my life? I have always struggled with my work pants. They are always too long and I cant wear them right after I make the purchase . The bonding strips work just perfectly! The staying power is amazing and i think the price is very fair.

    I washed the pants a couple of times and it completely stayed!

    I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor and was so excited to give it a go! I have a pair of those stretchy pseudo type dress pants that I got for a bargain, but have always been a bit too short to wear as regular length pants. I've always wanted to hem them an inch to make them more cropped, but I do not own a sewing machine (let's be real...even if I did, I probably wouldn't know how to use it). These permanent hem strips worked great! They stuck very well and give a nice finished edge. I haven't washed them yet, but am confident based on the current hold and other reviews that they will stay. I think $7.99 is reasonable for 30 strips if it gets me out of sewing or tailoring and I only have to do it once. I used about 6-7 for one pair of pants. I can see myself using these in the future, but will likely still lean towards the tailor for any expensive items.

    Thank you Chick Advisor for allowing me to do this review.

    The Permanent Hem Bonding Strips are awesome, especially because I don't own a sewing machine. I've had pants sitting in a basket waiting to go the seamstress to have them hemmed. I am no expert but it was super easy to use. This is way better then going out to spend money on having them professionally hemmed.
    I will definitely be purchasing them again and recommend them to family and friends.

    Awesome! My family and I are not of the really tall size range so therefore quite often off the rack pants are a little bit on the long side for us. I was excited to try these on a pair of dress pants I recently purchased and the timing was perfect. I made quick use of the strips and they worked like a dream. I can't stress how easy and effective these were and love them. I am not much of a sewer so therefore usually have to rely on others to do these tasks for me so I will definitely be adding these to my go to list of tools to help me out! Thanks for the opportunity to try.

    I received this product to review for free from Chick Advisor and I was thrilled. I've had a pair of pants in my drawer for months that I haven't worn for fear of fraying them unless I'm wearing tall boots. Its a stretchy polyester blend type material and I was afraid if I tried to hem them myself that I would ruin them. This Scotch product was absolutely fantastic! Super easy to apply and fixed the hem perfectly with no unglueing, even after 2 washes!

    This product is a must for any short or petite girl.. like me! Most of my pants are too long for me, but I buy them anyway because I fall in love. I have always just let them hang or tried to fold them but this always makes the bottoms fray overtime. These permanent hem bonding strips are the perfect solution. They have worked with all of the fabrics I have used and hold up in the wash. They are easy to apply and make my pants look perfectly hemmed. A must for everyone!

    *I received this product from ChickAdvisor in exchange for a review.

    This product is awesome especially if you don't really feel like going to a tailor and you just want to quickly fix it yourself permanently. The instructions were detailed and easy to follow.

    I received this Permanent Hem Bonding Strips from Scotch Essentials and Chickadvisor to review.
    Just my luck a favorite pair of pants decided to fray open on one of the pant legs. These strips rescued me! These are wide leg pants so I had to use 4 strips to fix one of the legs but it's staying put. Much faster and cheaper than a trip to the tailor, but it may add up if I continue hemming all my pants using this product.
    I would try it on dresses as well, those at the awkward frumpy length. And I wonder if you could use it to mend something as well.
    Will have to try that out when the opportunity arises.

    As a short girl, I know a few things about hems. I also know that hemming a garment is the most ANNOYING part about the clothes-buying process. Every, single, pant I own that is not a capri needs to be hemmed. Even petite pants need to be hemmed. I could keep a tailor in business for life.

    And then in comes the Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips and my life is FOREVER changed. No longer do I need to take a $20 pair of jeans to a tailor for a $10 hemming job. I can do it myself! The adhesive strips were super easy to figure out. All I needed to do was flip my pants inside out, determine the hem (measure, always!), wet my fingers (yeah, didn't learn that with the first strip) and stick it to the pants and rub it in for good measure. I didn't do the adhesive along the seam with my first pair of pants, so the hem job isn't perfect, but I know better for next time. I also tested this on a cheaper pair of pants the first time around too just in case.

    Honestly, this is a game-changer to a girl like me with no access to a sewing machine and no patience to hand-stitch a hem. I'd totally recommend this to any other short girl in need of an easy, DIY hem job.
