    To bad there isn't a magic flat felled version of this.

    But I have 2 12' tarps that I have to hem this weekend. Thinking I might do it out of triple thick aluminum foil if I don't have any convenient plastic laying about.

    Great work! Has anyone tried this successfully on cat cut edges? If so, we're any modifications needed?

    My tarps are cat cut. Don't see any reason why this wouldn't work.

    Neat idea! I don't see why a plastic (or even cardboard) milk jug wouldn't work to make one of these out of. Both would have sufficient slickness to allow the material to slide, too.

    You are a genius! I've been hunting for a foot for my TI to do this! Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for reviving this digrat.

    Has anyone compared a homemade one to a manufactured one like this or this?

    I just peered into my crystal ball and I'm seeing Dutch-made grosgrain rollers in the future...
