5 Types of Hemstitching

摘要

You invest a lot of time, heart, and soul when making a handwoven item, so consider giving it a finish to match: hemstitching by hand. You can quickly do machine-sewn hems or knot the edge, but some pieces need the special touch that shows you took extra care. Beautiful handwovens deserve beautiful finishes! Hemstitching is part of drawn-thread embroidery needlework. Embroiderers draw threads out of an evenweave (what weavers would call "balanced weave") fabric to form areas with only warp or weft. As a handweaver you don't need to draw out the threads; your warp is waiting and ready to take the beautiful stitches.
