Fringing
Fringing adds a special touch on table linens and shawls.
Choose a firm, woven fabric like linen where threads can
be removed easily.
Select 064 (Mirror Image) or 080.
q Carefully cut the fabric on grain. Remove a single
yarn or thread where the fringing is to begin.
w Sew down the left side so the right hand stitches fall
in the open space.
e Remove all excess yarn located to the right of
stitching and create fringe.
Drawn Work
Drawn work uses the same method as fringing. Choose a
firm, woven fabric like linen where threads can be
removed easily.
Select 064 or 080 (Mirror Image).
q Carefully cut fabric on grain. Determine width of the
drawn work and remove one yarn or fabric thread at
each end.
w Sew down right side, guiding fabric so left hand
stitches fall in open space. After finishing left side,
turn the fabric around 180º. Sew down other side.
e Remove the yarn or fabric threads between the
stitching.
