Sometimes, I wrap my fishing line very tightly around a drumstick or a wooden spoon handle and boil the fishing line for a minute or two. When it cools down, I can sew with it like normal, but it makes the edges a lot more curly and prettier...

Could someone tell me how I sew the fishline in and make that hem at the bottom of the dress? I can make the dress and decorate it and it looks really good but I can not figure out what you guys do to make that hem at the bottom. Is there a special attachment for my sewing machine?

I use a rolled hem on my serger, but you can use a rolled hem presser foot with your sewing machine and use the zigzag stitch. It takes longer to do and alot of getting used to it too.
