ironing tape stuff

For the first hem I use this, mostly bc it's easiest and also bc that is how Karyl showed me! It also is very helpful if you are hemming stretchy jeans (like I was). Hint: When you run a stretch fabric through a standard machine using a straight stitch (and non-stretchy thread) it helps to pull the fabric slightly as you sew.
