This is just awesome and I have to share it! I should have learned this a LONG time ago... No more rolling up my pants   :yes:
It leaves the original trim on your pants so it doesn't even look like they were altered

That’s a great idea C:-)  It also looks to be a little more forgiving on the sewing machine needle too; with less material to get through. 

Either I’m getting smaller or the Chinese are getting bigger.  It really can be a challenge to find good fitting cloths anymore.  Everything is like super sized XXXXXL.  I wonder when we're going to be able to “print” perfectly fitting cloths on a printer?

That is an engineering solution to a common problem.  It is truly a "neat trick."

I tried that trick on the arms of a sweat shirt....Worked well and it was easy!  There is a learning curve, but its fairly easy.
