![]() ![]() Take your fabric to the machine and line up as shown….If not, you may still be able to do this with a regular machine foot if you line up the fabric carefully and stitch slowly. Select the invisible hem stitch from your sewing machine – consult your manual if you need to for how to set up the width of your stitch and adjust it if necessary.Once everything is pressed, you have to fold your entire hemline back to the outside of the skirt, just leaving a small area of the first turn visible.Measure how much you have turned and turn this same amount all the way around to get an even hemline. Then fold the fabric inside again until your skirt is the correct length.First measure up 1/4 inch all the way around your fabric and press the seam to the wrong side. ![]() Once you have tried on your skirt and decided where you want the finished hemline to be, do measure this and mark it. The preparation of the hemline is important for this type of seam. If you haven't done this type of hem before, then do practice before trying it out on your skirt. I'm working on a leftover piece of fabric from my skirt so that I can show you the process using a bright pink thread to make the stitches easier to see. But it does give a very nice result and I recommend having a try at this. And in a patterned fabric like mine, you cannot use a thread that matches all parts of the pattern, so some stitches will show. You can try any of these options, or if you fancy, how about having a go at an Invisible Seam, sometimes called a Blind Hem? An invisible seam isn't completely invisible – depending on the fabric and thread used, you might still see some regular tiny stitches. Or you could turn and hand stitch – from Megan Neilsen. He have used two different colors so you can better appreciate the contrast between both balls, but when you use this kind of knot with the same yarn color, and then knit a row with it, it will be practically invisible.Or you could do a fancy hem finish with a hemming tape -from Stitch in my side. Cut as close as possible from the knot the left over tails.įor this example we used two balls of fine wool in light yellow, and aquamarine, but all our yarns are perfect for this kind of join. Pull strongly from both yarn tails to close and secure the knot.ĥ. Now, pass the yarn tail from the left under the yarn tail from the right, and then through the loop of step 1.Ĥ. Introduce the left yarn tail through the loop formed on the last step, bottom-up.ģ. Make a loop with the yarn tail to your left, making the strand go under itself.Ģ. We believe is much better explained if we show you the step-by-step in a video-tutorial:ġ. Hemos creído que queda mucho mejor explicado si te mostramos el paso a paso en un vídeo tutorial: This kind of knot is known as the “weaver’s knot”, is it a sign? Today we are adding a new method to your repertoire, and they look great when we knit with them. That’s why in the We Are Knitters blog we’ve been teaching you different ways to join yarn tails: 1, 2 and 3. What we like the least as knitters is having to join one yarn ball to another with bothersome knots, which later show on our projects. ![]()
