iron front and back with a damp cloth, but if the hem is a long standing hem, if you see what i mean, there will always be a line.0

I was scooting down the list of thread titles and first read this as letting down hens

there's not a lot you can do - if its a skirt I would be tempted to edge with a piece of ribbon or contrasting fabric to hide it, but this would look a bit odd on trousers unless they were for a toddler:p0

It's OK freyasmum - I read it like that too and I'm wearing reading glasses. :eek:
As for the hems pressing hard should take out most of the crease and if they are dark it won't really be noticeable anyway. Washing them might help - peg them upside down

Steam iron the outside of the trousers, using a clean cloth on top of the garment so you don't get shiny fabric, concentrate on the unpicked hem before re-hemming. Anything other than a cotton or linen fabric may need some perseverance.
Check for permanent crease glue if this is still used by manufacturers or dry cleaners!‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.
