One easy way is to use stitch witchery by Dritz, or a similar product which can be found at any sewing store. It can also be found a Walmart stores which have a sewing section.

From the Prym/Dritz website:

Instructions:

Always test before use. 1.Place Stitch Witchery between fabric layers. 2.Cover with damp press cloth. Set steam iron on "wool" and press for 10 seconds on each side. Do not slide iron. 3.Allow to cool. Check, if bond is secure. Press again if necessary.

How do you sew a dress with an even hem?

To hem a dress with the hem the same distance from the floor all around the hem, the person to wear the dress should put it on with the shoes she would most likely wear with the dress. After deciding the hem length, a friend, using a straight ruler or yard stick would then hold the ruler, end on floor, and at what ever height the wearer wants, pin the dress completely around at the desired hem length. The skirt fabric would then be trimmed the same length from the pins to the edge of the fabric, Then general hemming directions would be followed. Only by measuring from the floor UP, can the dress hang the same distance from the floor all around.
