I have made lovely and nice fitting garments my whole sewing life. From the 1950s making doll clothes while my Mom sewed. I have always been annoyed by how facings and hems had those ugly ridges. Can’t wait to use this. Never too late to add more quality. Many thanks for these videos.
I love that catch stitch. I, too, learned it many years ago. But now I have a better idea of when and why to use it. I also see that I need to practice binding seams and hems. I plan to watch all of your videos, eventually.
There are about 100 different opinions on hemming towels, no one way to do it, because it depends on many factors. Because I give away my towels to friends and relatives, and they will get used well, I just do a rolled hem (turn up 1/2" and then turn up another 1/2") and press. And I machine stitch across my hems with a walking foot and a slightly longer stitch. But I also tend to weave "towel" yardage, and divide the yardage into towel lengths, so no planned hem. Towels for exchange or exhibit should probably be hand sewn.

Thank you for this. What absolutely beautiful work ! I would have loved to see even more of those lovely garments.
Your pieces are gorgeous. I am new to weaving and about to sew my first pieces into a tunic. Your videos are already helping me to get into it!
Thanks for the lefty stitch!
You are so welcome!
I use Ottlites, I have them all over the house.
Tried this technique on my new cardigan. It works great! Thanks.
Wonderful!
Your videos are a God send. I am a new weaver with a question. What is the proper way to hem kitchen tea towels?
