yellows over timeAnonymousThis tape works well as an alternative to sewing the hem, but I used this on translucent white curtains and now the hem is yellow, after 5 years. I also used it on black-out curtains, which are opaque, so it doesn't show through. Another thing to note about using iron hem tape, it stiffens the hem a bit more than sewing them would, so they hang a little differently. Still, its so much easier to iron hem than sewing.
So easy to useAnonymous reviewerGreat alternative to using a sewing machine, especially on the ikea thin black out curtains (I think the sewing machine would’ve made little puncture holes that would’ve been obvious with light shining through)
EASYFrankTHIS WAS SO EASY TO USE - ONE PACK WAS ENOUGH TO HEM 3 PAIRS OF CURTAINS
Sure beats sewing!PaulaFollowed instructions and it did the job, me new hem is holding up.
Not included with curtainsJohnIkea used to include these with their curtains. No more apparently! So now I got the curtains delivered with no hemming tape. The curtains description is purposely misleading "Use SY iron-on hemming strip to shorten the curtains without sewing." But does not state "not-included", when it definitely should since they used to be included. How is Ikea even a value anymore?
beautifulAnaGood price, beautiful.
Easy to use hem tapeAnnaSo easy and holds even the thick heavy velvet curtains. I needed 92” curtains so was so happy to find this hem tape. Used for over a year and still holding strong.
LendaJesseLook great.
Best for hemming the long curtainsMaritzaThis product is fantastic!!
WorksJacklynNo complaints made hemming curtains doable. I do not know how to sow. It is time consuming but works.
Works but needs better directionLizaHow high to heat the iron? Does pressing mean moving the iron or keeping it still? The cloth I used on top never actually dried but the tape stuck.
Good Quality and Great PriceLaurenThe tape is a nice width and it fuses easily and seems pretty secure. Will find out how durable when I have to wash the drapes.

Good productDeborahFair purchase for the price. Easy to use.
Useful, easy fixMarinaI needed this to shorten curtains from Ikea. Didn't realize I would need a damp cloth to use it (this is different from other non-ikea hemming tape I've used). So far so good, but I have only just used it. We'll see how it holds up after some time has passed and/ or I wash the drapes.
So easy to useCarolineThis hemming tape was really easy to use and worked perfectly on my IKEA curtains (Dytag and Sanela styles).
Took a hot iron toHeatherTook a hot iron to bond.

Function solution
Sew without needle or thread
With SY iron-on tape everyone can "sew" curtains. All you need to do is cut your fabric to size, fold the hem, lay the strip in place and iron it with a warm iron.
