Hemming A Handwoven Dish Towel

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Amy shows how she manages her selvedges when she is using two shuttles at once. She also goes through the process of creating a lovely finished hem for your dish towels from start to finish. Washing cotton handwoven pieces and shrinkage is also discussed.
This technique will be very useful if you're using a rigid heddle loom to join in our Woolery Weave-Off towel contest.

    Using a quilting foot will really help with it staying inline and not getting squeezed out as you sew.

    Great video. So enjoyed seeing it done as opposed to just reading. Elmers glue a super idea.

    When starting sewing at the edge, put a small ruler under the back of the presser foot to level it. Then it will start sewing easily without pushing or distortion. ❤

    Thanks for showing how you end your doubled weft! That’s what I was looking for when I found this video. Like ply spit without the ply. One thing you’ll never have to worry about is anything working loose with that much shrinkage! 🤣

    A walking foot, used for sewing quilts , will keep those stripes from getting pushed out of line.

    Very helpful and informative video. I’ve just begun weaving and have yet to try cotton. I knew they shrank, but 25% shrinkage surprised me.

    Perhaps for a smaller rigid heddle loom, one could weave two narrower towels and stitch together for one wider towel. I enjoyed watching how you finished off your towel.

    GREAT VIDEO! I never knew the Woolery posted videos! Love this idea of the glue!!! Also the way to end the double weft…. Why didn’t I think of that?!?!? But, I do know you said another video could show how to fix floats. I’m wondering how you do that here since the glue would not allow you to pull the warp out. Help please?

    Could you use a walking foot to help with movement?

    I really like the Bluegrass Mills 6/2 cotton and have woven many towels with it and it does shrink quite a bit. I was surprised at how much yours shrunk - 4.5" on the width and 5" on the length. I wonder how that compares with other cotton or cottolin yarns? Looks like I have an experiment to conduct!

    First of all thank you. i appreciate your videos. I always learn things from you. I also have a question, if you make multiple towels, do you put glue on each towel?

  • @bcase5328

    I have heard that cotton can shrink 10% to 15% during the first ten washing and dryings.

    You may have mentioned this in a different video, but did you use Elmer’s glue on both edges of each of your towels?

    Yes! We do the glue trick on the other side of the towel before we cut it off the loom too!
