Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this iron-on hem tape work on all types of pants fabric?

A: This hem tape is specially designed for denim jeans and polyester-blend trousers. It works best on woven fabrics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first when working with delicate or heat-sensitive materials.

Q: How long does the iron-on bond last after washing?

A: When applied correctly at the recommended temperature (130°C–160°C) for at least 15 seconds, the bond is durable and can withstand regular machine washing. For best results, turn garments inside out before washing.

Q: Can I remove or reposition the tape after it has been ironed on?

A: Once heat-bonded, the tape creates a strong permanent hold. It is not designed to be repositioned after ironing. Ensure you fold and measure your hem accurately before applying heat.

Q: What iron setting should I use to apply the hem tape?

A: Set your steam iron to a temperature between 130°C and 160°C (medium-high heat). Press firmly without moving the iron for approximately 15 seconds, then allow the fabric to cool completely before handling.
