yes the jml machine is about �20 but you can get one cheaper on ebay - or just hand sew.
if they are all the same length, get the alteration person to do one and ask them to give you back the bit they have cut off (for patches) - then use that as a guide to how much to cut off the rest of them, then just fold in about centimetre, then fold again a bit bigger than that, then sew or wonderweb it.

We had a similar Q here a little while ago and I posted a link to a video of how the *professionals* do it.

Once you have learned to sew, you will find yourself easily able to do all sorts of other useful things, like shorten curtains, nets, make things like cushion covers, repair garments etc. It's a really handy skill !
