I'm making a pair of jeans-style trousers out of our Classic Levi Denim - Medium Wash. This is a mid-to-heavyweight denim (423 GSM), and it is a delight to work with. But I've found that, when making narrow (5/8" double folded) jeans hems, the part of the hem where it crosses the side seam and inseam can be difficult for some machines to handle. There are tools out there to help with that ("Hump Jumper" and "Jean-a-ma-Jig" come to mind), but there is also an easy fix to eliminate that bulk before it becomes a problem.
I took a coat tailoring class with Kenneth D. King, in which he showed us a way to reduce bulk in intersecting seams. This method works equally well on jeans and other hems in bulky fabrics. Check it out...
1 - Mark and Press Your Hem
Don't double fold the hem yet. Just press it so you can see the crease.
2 - Trim Your Seam Allowance
Then, carefully trim your inseam and side seam allowances close to the stitching line (about 1/4 inch is good). Stop trimming right at the hemline crease:
You can already see that it's less bulky than if you left the seam allowance intact.
