Default Hemming Wranglers???

Has anyone ever hemmed a pair of Wrangler Bluejeans? It seems like it'd be easy, but when I do it, it just doesn't look right...

I am very interested to see the replies. Sorry I don't have any insight for you. I have never been able to hem any jeans in a way that looks nice.

I hem jeans all the time. You do have to use a jumper to get over the big seams, and you can now buy the same color thread that is used in jeans. There is a tutorial on how to hem jeans using the same original hem, sorry but I don't know how to post them, but sometimes that works for me, sometimes it don't. Just goggle how to hem jeans, you should be able to find it.

Oh! Thanks Barb! Katy, this one is good. I like the idea of cutting some of the bulky seam out so your sewing machine can go over it smoothly.
