How to hem jeans using domestic sewing machine (WITHOUT original hem)

In this video I share a very common alteration - how to shorten jeans. For this technique, we will not be using original hem. This alteration will be done on domestic sewing machine Singer Heavy Duty 4423, to show that this can be done using any sewing machine that you have! BONUS: try to spot my cat napping in the video! :)

To hem jeans using this technique, you'll need:
* Jeans needle or needle that's at least size 100 or higher;
* Thicker sewing thread (often call 'heavy duty', 'denim' or 'jeans' thread; select color that will work best with your jeans);
* Bulky seam aid (if you don't have this tool, you can use thicker cardboard instead).
