Thank you very much yet again for a fantastic explanation! This method is so much neater than what I originally learned... You are the perfect teacher.
Thank you, Kelly for showing how to create a tail for finishing your weaving with a hemstitch. The previous method I learned for the ending hemstitch was to work from the left to the right, and I did not know that it was perfectly fine to work from the right to the left. So much easier for me since I am right-handed.
Thank you Kelly. This is great. Well done. I apologize if this comes a little late to the party. When I try this, I will position my needle closer to the mid-point of the thread, to reduce the amount of pull, pull, pull. I will also try to learn your ability to tie all of the knots in the same tension, otherwise, I will end up with my usual globs of some tight knots and some loose knots. Your work is so smooth, so consistent, beautifully done. Thanks again.
I have watched several hemstitching videos. This one made the most sense to me. I would have liked to see how you finished it at the end. I will see if I can see that on one of your other videos.
Kelly, I have chosen a Louet 50cm Erica with 4 heddles for my first ever loom!!! I am so excited!!!! And can't wait. I am making payments on it so should get it in about 5 months.
Very clear and will be watching it many more times. My question is about the area where you deal with the tail - does it make the edge uneven where you stitched the tail in when you then do the hem stitch?
I always return to this video when it’s been a while between projects. It is perfectly explained, even for a left-handed weaver. My question is this: I have woven a rag rug with narrow strips of fabric (0.5”-1”). I am using an 8 dent which I have double warped. I’m not sure it was necessary to double the warp, but I thought that might provide extra strength. What size warping thread should I be using for a small rag rug? And when it comes to hemstitching, should I gather bundles of 6 or 8 or less if the warp has been doubled? Or maybe the 1” header of plain weave needs to be rolled and sewn on a machine instead of hemstitching? Thank you.

Thank you!! So eventually you are hemming into the original weft. I got it!!! Thank you again and again😊😊😊. I'm watching the video again so I can have it down pat. (means fully understand)🤔🤔😁😁
Than you so much. I have watched this video at least a half dozen times and still getting the edge started is a mess. Once I get into it, I do OK, but it doesn’t feel at all natural on the edges. Hopefully as I do more, it will come easier. Please never take down the hem stitch videos - I use them as a guide every time I start or end a piece. Is there also one that shows the decorative hem stitches you mentioned?
This is about Italian hemstitch: kellycasanovaweavinglessons.com/2020/10/italian-hemstitch.html I do have a class on using hemstitch as a feature, it's a members only class over at the Online Weaving School.
Hemstitching is for when you want to leave a fringe, so you don't cut close to the actual stitch. If you cut too close it would come undone. You can still have a fairly short fringe, but you do need to have a fringe of some sort for hemstitch. If you don't want a fringe, you have the option of either weaving fringe ends back in to the weaving or sewing a hem with a machine or by hand 😊
Is it possible to do 1 warp & 1 weft hemstitch? I want to be able to sew an edge and not sure how to hemstitch it before sewing. I've only just gotten into head weaving (previous textile weaver in factories).
Excellent!!! I’ve been struggling with this since I began weaving a few weeks ago. This is THE best video yet! Especially the close ups. One question though....I’ve seen many finished pieces that have a slanted stitch across the hemstitch. Is there a particular technique for that? Thank you SO much for this video. I’m going to be starting your table runner pattern and I’ll have your video close to my loom. 😊👌
Hi Kelly I was wondering would I use this stitch when shaping my neckline shape for a tunic I found a old book on shaping clothes when useing rectangles but it only say if you choose to do buttonhole stitch then at end cut the warp in the middle of neck hole and darn in it really does not give to much just wondering if you have any advice
It may possibly work for that, but I would tend to use a sewing machine for any type of neck shaping. It's a high stress area for fabric, so the stronger the better, plus with a sewing machine you can get nice clean lines through hemming.
So, in this demonstration I'm using the yarn that I wove in because I wanted to show people how do that, but ideally you use the last weft thread to do it.
Hi, Kelly. Just wanted to let you know that the link to your website in the notes is giving me an error message in both Chrome and Safari. Thanks for the great video!
Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to see the technique given that the camera isn’t particularly close up and the hem stitching is the same color as the scarf itself.
I did actually re-film this video because this one is lacking camera focus. You may want to try the newer one- th-cam.com/video/iafh4vdAhLo/w-d-xo.html
@@KellyCasanova That would have been another plus. What I meant is that one cannot see well what you stitch, video is blurred and is far from camara. Thanks for responding!!
@@KellyCasanova You are most welcome! Thank you for the tutorials. I, Ruth Loeffler, was emailing you earlier about classes. What I did not understand is, if I take your courses, am I able to choose the classes I need?I only have 2 looms, both ridgid heddle. What are featured classes? I speak English well, as a foreign language, ( I did college and graduate schooling in the USA) Yet sometimes, I don't get certain things.
@@ruth8756 You can buy single classes or you can buy a membership. The feature classes are Weaving Boot Camp, Three Heddle Adventures and Japanese Journey. I hope that helps, but do let me know if you need more help 😊
Thank you very much yet again for a fantastic explanation! This method is so much neater than what I originally learned... You are the perfect teacher.
I come back to this every time I need to hemstitch. I'm so glad you made this video!
There are hundreds of videos on hem stitching, but very few help us with the finishing end. Thanks so much!
You're welcome! 😀

Thanks!
Thank you Denise!
Thank you for a very clear demonstration. I have been struggling with this, and I believe you have me on the right path.
Great, thanks for the positive feedback!
Once again I have gone totally blank on how to hemstitch the other end... so here I am again! so grateful for this video 😄🙏
😀
Thank you (yet again) for a great video.

very helpful. the colour is so nice too!
Thank you! 😊
Very helpful for a first time weaver, thanks Kelly
You're very welcome ❤️
Thanks, Kelly!! I use this video every time I Hemstitch!! Kathy Davis
That's great, thanks Kathy!

How exciting for you! 😀
Thank you, Kelly. You are an excellent teacher. I love your videos.
Thank you so much! 😄
This was exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks for sharing with all the important tips!!!!
You're most welcome, glad to help!
Thank you so much, I was wondering how I was going to do the hemstitch at the end of my project. So clear.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks so much for the tutorial! 🤩 always good to watch when starting the hemstitch! love the 4-1 look!
I'm glad it's helpful to you 😊
Very clear and will be watching it many more times. My question is about the area where you deal with the tail - does it make the edge uneven where you stitched the tail in when you then do the hem stitch?
Sheila, I find that it's pretty much invisible after wet finishing, you really can't tell that anything extra has been woven in 😉

Best video ever for learning the hemstitch! Thank you SO much .. on my way weaving now😊.
Thank you!
Great instructional video.

Do you just cut off the warp threads once you have done the hem stitch, and if so how flush to your work?

I haven't tried it, but I do think it would be better to have at least 2 warp threads in each bunch to hold the weft that runs between them in place.
That’s beautiful! Looking forward to the kit!
Great, thank you! 😊
Excellent video! Thanks so much.
Thank you, I'm so glad it was helpful to you 😊
Thank you! That was perfect!
This is great! I love the closeup view. Did I miss what you do with the extra tail from when you added the hemstitch thread?
I just cut that off after wet finishing.

There are quite a few different ways to hemstitch and some are more decorative 😊

@@KellyCasanova ok thanks for the advice I did just get a sewing machine ben hand sewing
Ok I got it. But I still don’t understand how to remove the fabric from the loom. Can you safely cut the warps after the stitch?
Yes, you can, but don't cut right up against the knots, you need to leave some fringe.
Very helpful,just finishing my first project
Great, well done Deborah! 😀
Is the weft thread the one you wove in to add the hemstitching yarn or is it the original last weft thread?
So, in this demonstration I'm using the yarn that I wove in because I wanted to show people how do that, but ideally you use the last weft thread to do it.
Perfect!! I big thanks

👏💐
Pity, one cannot see the actual stitching.
Do you mean it would have been better if I used a contrasting yarn to show off the stitches on camera more?
@@KellyCasanova That would have been another plus. What I meant is that one cannot see well what you stitch, video is blurred and is far from camara. Thanks for responding!!
