Hello Kelly, I am making embroidered linen accent pillows and I have already made some but I have purchased more and I am attempting to square up the linen by pulling the threads but the selvage is bowed so badly that I am at a loss as to what to do. I have trimmed off the selvage but it is still really bowed any help would be gratefully appreciated. I am using home dec linen. Thank You.
I would pull threads in both directions, then dampen and straighten out using a square if need be. The finishing of fabrics often will throw things out of wack. The pulled threads are true grainlines
This was so very very helpful, thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! :)
