I love this product. This is perfect for a mom like me that does not have the time to hem myself with sowing machine. I love the easy to use tape. I would make sure you double check your hem twice as once it's on the pants it won't come off. Make sure it pants you only want to wear with certain shoes. The tapes was quite sticky to use so I put a bowl of water on the table beside me and kept dipping my fingers in to make sure the tape did not stick to my fingers. I found just a quick iron worked really well right after to get a crisp hem line. This stuff washes really well in cold water with no signs of hem peeling at least after three washes. I would recommend this to all working mom's or mom's that want to hem in a quick time. It's a perfect product.

I received this product to try out as a ChickAdvisor. I decided to use it as part of my crafting. I've been sewing Christmas stockings and used this to try it out instead of sewing the hem on the cuff. I was very impressed with how easy these strips are to use--they apply very easily, stay in place, and so far seem to have amazing staying power! They make the job so much quicker and simpler!!

I have very short legs and literally every pair of pants I own needs to be hemmed.... I've had one pair in particular that I had cut but when I got them back they were no where near short enough and have sat in my closet for quite sometime as I haven't mustered up the energy to take them back and pay AGIAN to have them taken in. This tape was so easy to use and held I was finally able to wear this pants for the first time!

I had a pair of pants that were WAY to long for me, so I put them in the back of my closet knowing I'd never take them to a seamstress. i was given this product to try and review and I was SHOCKED when they say PERMANENT! I used them on my pants, which was super simple, and then threw them in the wash 5 times since using the bonding strips and they are STILL stuck together with NO issues or looking like they are starting to come apart. 100% will continue to use this product.

I was so excited when I got picked to try these out! I had a dress that I bought, I didn't realize until I got home that it had a slit I wasn't quite pleased with. I was able to use this and now the dress looks great and you cant even tell. Its so simple, easy and reliable!

This was great to have...it was easy and fast to put together and allowed me to continue my day still looking put together until I was able to sew the button back on. Definitely worthwhile to have stashed in a drawer or purse for when you need it!

Thank you Chickadvisor.. This product is great & now that I've tried it, I've been recommending it to all my family & friends. What a great alternative to sewing and so much cheaper than going to a tailor. Very easy to use & lasts throughout washes!

J'ai eu la chance de tester ce produit. Pour une fille qui ne coud pas, ce produit est très pratique et même essentiel à avoir dans la trousse de dépannage!
Malgré le fait que l'application soit la même que pour les bandes ajustables (on enlève la pellicule, on met sur le tissu, on presse, puis on enlève l'autre pellicule et on rabat l'autre côté en appuyant), celle-ci est plus tordue en raison du fait que la bande est TRÈS collante. D'ailleurs, j'ai dû jeter la première bande à ma première tentative, car elle est restée collée à mes doigts et s'est tout effritée! La 2e tentative a été plus concluante! À la 3e (même si je me suis mouillé les doigts) la bande s'est encore collée....
J'ai tout de même réussi à poser les bandelettes à la main, sans fer à repasser. Le résultat est bon, mais je croyais que les bandelettes étaient permanentes. En fait, lorsque l'on tire sur le tissu, un des côtés décolle, mais l'autre reste collé (pour ne pas dire figé, car il est indécollable) dans le tissu (peut-être est-ce la raison du terme "permanent"). Je trouve que ces bandelettes sont pratiques pour un dépannage, mais pas comme solution permanente. Merci!

I received the Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips from ChickAdvisor and I absolutely love it!
I racently caught my heel on the hem on my fave work pants and have been making due with staples holding it together as I'm terrible with a sewing kit. I was ecstatic to try this on my fave pants and am shocked at how well it's holding.
The bonding is keeping the hem even after being thrown in the wash. The only downside is that it's hard to get the tape straight as its extremly sticky. When I try to peel the backing off it pulls on the places I accidently touched. Thank goodness dark clothes are forgiving of flaws. I do recommend help from another person to hold the garment in place in order to keep everything straight and no folds happen with the tape.

This is easy to use and you don't have to fix it again when you get home with needle and thread. This I think is the most useful of the 3 items reviewed for me.
