Everything you need to fold and press a flawless hem — and nothing you don't. The Perfect Hem Kit pairs the Mini Iron with the 10" Hot Hem Ruler and the silicone Mini Iron Rest for a compact, safe, all-in-one hemming station.
The Hot Hem Ruler does the measuring and folding for you: lay it along your fabric edge, fold the fabric over the top to the marked hem depth (anywhere from ⅛" to 10"), and press directly onto the heat-resistant ruler with the mini iron. No measuring tape, no pins, no guesswork — just a crisp, even fold every time. Between presses, the mini iron sits safely on its silicone rest.
Three tools, one perfect hem after another.
Fold and Press a Hem in One Step — The 10" Hot Hem Ruler lets you fold the fabric to an exact depth from ⅛" to 10" using the clear grid lines, then press straight onto the heat-resistant ruler surface — the fold sets crisp and even in seconds.
Press Directly on the Ruler — The felted-wool Hot Hem Ruler takes steam or a dry iron at any temperature without warping, so you press right on top of it — the fabric can't shift while it sets.
A Mini Iron That Reaches Every Fold — The compact soleplate of the mini iron presses into tight hems, corners, and small folds where a full-size iron is clumsy.
A Safe Place to Set the Iron Down — The silicone Mini Iron Rest (heat-resistant to 482°F) gives the hot iron a safe, stable home between presses, with a raised lip that keeps the soleplate contained.
Perfect Mitered Corners — The Hot Hem Ruler's 45° guides let you fold and press clean mitered corners for binding and hems — a professional finish without the fuss.

Set the Mini Iron Rest beside your work surface and heat the Mini Iron on it.
Lay the Hot Hem Ruler along the fabric edge you want to hem.
Fold the fabric over the top of the ruler to your chosen depth using the ⅛"–10" grid lines.
Press directly onto the ruler with the mini iron; the heat-resistant wool holds the fold steady.
Slide the ruler out to reveal a crisp, even fold; repeat along the length of the hem.
For mitered corners, align the fabric to the 45° line, fold, and press.
Rest the iron flat on the silicone rest between presses; switch off when finished.
