Fringing

Fringing adds a special touch on table linens and
shawls. Choose a firm, woven fabric like linen where
threads can be removed easily.
Carefully cut the fabric on grain. Remove a single
yarn or thread where the fringing is to begin. Sew
down the left side so the right hand stitches fall in
the open space. Remove all excess yarn to create
fringe.
Stitch can also be used.

Hemstitches

Hemstitching, also known as French hand sewing,
was traditionally only a hand sewn art. There are
several stitches to choose from that will add an "old
world charm". Best results require the use of linen,
cotton or a blend of linen/cotton.
Thread machine, needle and bobbin with a fine cot-
ton embroidery thread (50 weight or finer). Insert a
universal needle size #110 or a wing needle. Use
spray starch and press to stabilize fabric.
NOTE: Only insert a wing needle when sewing the
stitches listed below. A wing needle is wider than a
regular needle. Hand turn the flywheel a few times to
ensure needle does not touch needle plate. If needle
touches needle plate, narrow the stitch width.
