    Hi Kathy - thanks so much for this video, there isn't much like this and I desperately need some advice! I have a large crochet bedspread/tablecloth that I want to turn into a curtain but it means cutting into the pattern (e.g. cutting off the scalloped edge). Would you advise sewing a hem of cotton fabric around the edge, or can you use the blanket stitch with embroidery thread to secure it from fraying do you think? And if I wanted to cut a strip off and resew onto the edge to extend it, what is the best way? It is more like the shrug in this video, so not manufactured crochet but rather actual crochet. Your thoughts are welcomed!

    • @Kathykels
      @Kathykels 24 дні тому

      I would say, to cut this, you will need to prevent the pattern from unravelling. I have successfully achieved this once before but it Wasn’t easy. What I have done in the past, is cut the very edge off carefully, with very sharp scissors, and use safety pins to thread through loops of stitches or groups of stitches, to stop them unravelling. Then I have unpicked a couple of rows , repositioning the safety pins through the loops of stitches, to try to retrieve some long lengths of the yarn. I then used those lengths to thread through each of the stitch loops on the pins, to stop it unravelling . Where I could , I used a crochet hook to crochet into each loop and kind of join each stitch to the next one, by threading one stitch loop into the next , all the way along until you reach the end, then thread the yarn through and knot it. You could possibly cut a piece and join it on another area in a similar way, but it will be tricky. You will need to make sure you collect every group of stitches onto safety pins and join them onto the other area with the pieces of yarn you retrieve. If you can do this, you won’t need to bind with hem of fabric. I’d say the hem of fabric alone probably wouldn’t be enough to hold the cut areas in place , unless you support the entire area by ironing it onto fusible interlining first, to stop the stitches unravelling. Then sew the fabric over the edge and zig zag stitch it on your sewing machine to give the best support. Once it’s secured, you can iron the durable interlining to heat it, and gently peel it off down your where the fabric binding is and carefully trim it away. Let me know how you get along with this.

      No definitely not needed. Try it and see , but of course you add cream if you want. I’m vegan but I do add plant based cream to some soup, because it gives a nice smoothness to the flavour. This soup doesn’t need cream and is very healthy.
