Hi All, I'm a very new weaver - will be warping my loom solo for the first time tomorrow. I'm wondering if hemstitching is sufficient alone - that is you can cut the warp close to it and the edge stays or if it's just a decorative line between fringe and the cloth. Do you still have to tie knots up near it to maintain the integrity of the cloth?
I'm this new (holds hands out far apart like telling a fish story).... :-) and very excited to receive my loom this evening.

PS: I have a 45 inch wide loomcraft which we got at a salvage auction and have pretty much got it refurbished - will be warping it for a lap throw first then a small bathroom rug for a friend and the little loom that is coming today is a wolf pup LT. That will be used this first time for some simple tea towels, then for some pillows....
