You have the option of sewing, gluing, heat-welding, or taping your banners when having them hemmed. Even though hemming doesn’t require any technology, some shops don’t have sewing machines, so glue isn’t the only alternative. Let’s examine each choice individually. Utilizing glue to hem Get the proper adhesive glue for vinyl banners first. As we’ve done before, we laid the banner flat on a table and measured its edge with a ruler that was 8 feet, 2 inches broad. We drew a straight line 2 inches from the edge using the ruler. After that, we covered the edge of the banner on one side with glue in a straight line. Then we shifted our fold over the pen line by one inch. A strong rubber roller was then used to bond the vinyl to itself. This procedure was repeated from all angles. Among the alternatives that I will also be discussing, this is definitely the trickiest way to hem your banner. Banner’s hem is taped. This is one simple technique. The steps are the same as those previously mentioned. Laying the banner flat, you position a 2-inch by 96-inch ruler and use the pen to mark the 2-inch line. This time, you place the tape along the drawn line in place of the adhesive. Apply the tape, remove the adhesive backing paper, fold the banner, and then press the pieces together with a strong rubber roller or something similar while they are still wet. People with equipment needs Only the aforementioned techniques allow you to mechanically hem a banner, but there are other, preferable options that call for the use of a machine or other tools. Sewing Device The first is a sewing machine designed for industrial use that can accommodate two feet for parallel stitching. If you have the machine, this is one straightforward method. You can get one online if you have the funds. Simply ensure that the firm you are buying from has a solid reputation and excellent customer service. One the one hand, purchasing the machine is far easier than learning how to use it. It takes practice to consistently fold the vinyl banner over by one inch and sew it straight without bunching the fabric. Your next objective is to learn how to sew a straight seam more quickly after you have mastered that. The Heat-Welded Seam The final technique involves using a heat-welded seam. This one requires specialized tools. Heat seamers or heat welders are both options. While a heat welder passes the banner through a heated hem welder, a heat seamer moves around the edges of the banners. Pole pockets can be created using the same techniques as before. As a result Whatever technique you choose to employ, the ultimate effect will be the same for your vinyl banners. The taping procedure is one that I don’t enjoy since as you roll the taped hem, it tends to create wrinkles along the hem that don’t look neat. However, the wrinkles are not particularly noticeable if you are hemming for an outdoor banner with a close-up viewing distance.
