Becky’s tutorial for hand stitch hemming inspired me to think about the possibility of preparing for the fabric turns, while weaving, to make it easier to determine the weft picks to use to make the two fabric turns necessary for the turned hem. I just love my new hems, using Beck’s technique. They are the most beautiful hems I have ever made. When hemming my completed plain weave fabrics it was easy and was more efficient than I originally imagined but when I used the technique to hem my turned twill, and other twills I had the hardiest time consistently finding the weft rows to use for the stitching. My hems was no longer even. I realized that I had often used a weft row above or below my original row. There must be a way to prepare the fabric when weaving to insert an extra thread or some other way to locate the weft row for the first fabric turn, the second fabric turn and the weft row to attach the second fabric turn to. So, if the hem will consist of 33 picks, an extra thread ( of a different color) is inserted in pick rows 11, 22, and 33. The total hemming picks has to be divisible by 3 to make 2 equal fabric turns, which can be a problem for pattern weaving consisting or even amount of picks, unless don’t’ make the first turn the same amount of picks as the second turn. If the math can be worked out, when the woven fabric is removed from the loom, the additional picks are available to be used as hemming guides and then pulled out when no longer needed. I most likely forget something that will make my idea not useable, so if anyone can change my idea so it will work or has some other ideas, please share.
