    Hi Kelly, I notice that a while back Donna Cooper asked, "it seems easy on the beginning of the piece, but I always get confused about doing it on the end of the piece. Everything seems 'backward'. It would be great to watch you do that as well. Thanks" I experience the same challenge as her and was wondering if you were able to create a video about hemstitching at the end of the piece.Thanks. Love the school, am finishing up the Moroccan Dream Scarf weave along with you.

    Depends on whether you have a sewing machine or serger. If you do, you can zig zag stitch or serge the edge and then hem it. If you don't have a machine you can still hemstitch, then thread each warp end onto a needle and weave it back into the piece vertically - it's time consuming but works quite well!

    Catherine, if you start with a half hitch knot (as shown in the video) at the first edge warp thread and then the last, the curling is less likely to occur.

    I'm new to weaving. I just got my loom and was so excited I warped the whole thing with enough yarn to make a table runner and then some. After weaving for about 2 weeks I'm ready to see my 1st creation. When I begin to stitch the end of my work it hits me. I didn't do anything at the beginning. Help!! How do I fix this so I can take it off!! I'm scared the whole bit will begin to unravel. Please HELP! I don't know what to do!!

  • @KellyCasanova

    There are 2 things you could do: 1. Take the piece off the loom, weight it with a heavy book or similar stop it slipping and hemstitch that way (yes, you can hemstitch off the loom 😊) 2. Cut the finished ends behind the heddle and bring the fringe through the heddle and over the top. You can either leave it to fall over the top of the heddle or over the back beam, depending on the length. Take off the front brake and begin to unroll until the start of your piece appears. Now weight the end of the piece, either with hanging weights from the fringe, or if the piece is long enough to touch the floor, with a heavy book. Hemstitch as normal. Hope that helps!

    Not exactly. If you cut the fringe off completely you would be cutting so close to your hemstitches that they would unravel. I have an article on this topic here if you're interested - kellycasanovaweavinglessons.com/2023/08/ask-kelly-how-sturdy-is-hemstitching.html

  • @KellyCasanova

    @KellyCasanova

    3 жыл бұрын

    If you cut the fringe off right up near the hemstitch knots, they will not hold and the fabric will unravel. One technique for hemstitching when you don't want a fringe is to needle weave all the fringe ends up into the fabric, then they get "buried" so there is no visible fringe.
