Will it work for hemming skirts/light weight pants?

Thanks for your question. Yes It is a great machine that will work on any light or even heavy duty work. Perfect for all your every day mending, and for any sewing projects.

Yes, it should work. The clamps open wide enough to accommodate most table 'skirts'.

Yes It will but i do not recomend it for anything like a chair or anything your clothing would get in contact with because it is sticky and after wear it would get sticky.

Yes. My wife used it to hem a pair of blue jean shorts last summer and it has held fast up to this point.

Yes, this would hem pants just fine. Remember you would not be able to go through a huge number of layers of denim so if you have very heavy denim and thick seams, there could be an issue. But not for dress pants or normal jeans. If you change needles to suit the fabric, you will have better results. For example, there are denim needles (heavier gauge to punch through the thick fabric) and ball-point needles to sew effectively through knits. If you can run a test of your hemming stitch through similar fabric first, you will get a good result by adjusting tension to get a decent stitch. If the pants are very good ones, use a fresh needle and very good quality thread. (I like Guterman or Mettler.)

Not sure - it will depend on how heavy your board is. I use mine to hang dry-cleaning on - and it does bend under the weight sometimes. I think there are over-the-door hangers made specifically for ironing boards that may work better.

If the question is: Is this fabric too shear for a skirt? No, it's a nice light weight. Some of us might wear a slip if the sun's shining! I made several beautiful tops with my fabric and it washes and comes out of the dryer very nice.

The clothes hangar is very light-weight, so can be used on a tension rod that is secure. It weighs about the same as a heavy plastic hangar. I use it for gloves, socks, underwear, etc. I wouldn't hang pants or coats on it -- that would make it heavy.

I used in on a 100% silk pants suit; it worked well. Unlike with heavier fabric, you won't need to touch it to the fabric. Hold the steamer a couple of inches away and work from the bottom up, hand-smoothing as you go.

Possibly. I think it would depend on how much pull there is from your skin on the fabric and how much you move. If you try it I would use it in several places; one strip at the hem, etc. probably won't do the trick. And bear in mind that when you sit a skirt is going to rise, it's supposed to, that can easily throw things off if you don't place the tape in just the right place; there will be too much pull and it WILL come loose but taping for a seated position would have your skirt higher and cause wrinkling when you stand. So I honestly don't know, I think this is definitely a trial and error situation. Possibly. I think it would depend on how much pull there is from your skin on the fabric and how much you move.

I believe this is designed for light-weight laundry (lingerie, socks, etc.) however, if your shirts are not soaking wet perhaps it would work--you could try placing a shirt on a plastic hanger and then clipping the hanger in the clothes pin. It is a good product but it's not a heavy-duty product. An honest answer is that I don't know. Good luck.

Fits almost perfectly around our tree skirt. I would assume that it would fit around most average tree skirts. Hope this helps!

It will but, made for little jobs, Don't expect it to performe great, except on loose material, works good..

Hi Frank and other inquirersI am using the middle horizontal and the upper horizontal. I tightened the clamps with a great deal of energy and still it listed on one end. I then wrapped duct tape over the poles and the clamps had a better grip. I use the top horizontal for skirts and the lower one for slacks. The whole outfit holds about 50 skirts above and 30 pairs of slacks below. True to its weight allowances I would say.

Haven't had them long enough to say, but for coarse fabrics like denim, I'm sure they'll work. Cotton or wool, maybe. I have some hangers similar in design, but about twice as thick. They work pretty well.

I believe it may work if extremely tight. But you may want to find one less top heavy/lighter weight.

I have only used it with quilting cotton fabrics. I think it will work well on any weight cotton but silky fabrics may be a problem.
