Matching Folded Hem Tutorial
I’m working on a new design. A cowl with a nice folded hem edge… very neat and tidy… with a reverse stockinette turning row. Starting the project I like to think through all the details and this one had me a little stumped. I was thinking about how to make the BIND OFF end of […]
