Finishing Hem Stitch Tutorial
To finish the end of a woven piece (and using the tail if possible), work from right to left, first inserting your needle two warp threads and 2-3 weft pics into the cloth. (The number of warp threads and pics will vary, based on the size of your threads and cloth. Pictured here is 14 Ply Wool Pack in a 5dpi reed.
Take the needle back to the right, under the first two warp threads, catching the “loop”
Pull snugly, and insert needle again on the diagonal, under the next two warp threads and next 2-3 weft pics
Take the needle behind the second two warp threads, again catching the “loop” of the tail
Pull snugly, and repeat: diagonally under the next two warp threads, and 2-3 weft pics
Pull snugly, weave under the same two warp threads, and catch the loop . . . then repeat across the whole width
