I’m not even sure this can be done, but I’m thinking there must be a way…
On a color-pooled warp project, I wove too far at the end. I didn’t realize it until I matched the end edge up with the beginning edge.
The project has been taken off the loom but not washed.
So I would like to unpick about 2 inches from the end edge of the scarf and re-hemstitch.
This is how I’m thinking of going about it:
- Remove the heddle
- Re-tie the beginning end to the front apron rod.
- Gently roll the fabric onto the beam until the ending edge appears.
- Tie the ending edge of the scarf onto the back apron rod. Adjust so there is just enough tension to allow a smooth hemstitch.
- With a new length of weft yarn, hemstitch at the proper location, 2 inches in from the original hemstitched picks.
- Carefully remove the original hemstitching and the picks between it and the new hemstitching.
Is this doable without messing up my scarf too much?
Is there another way to do it?
Alternatively,could I just stitch across the scarf with my sewing machine and then hemstitch along that stitched line?
I'm trying to insert a diagram but am having problems. I hope it shows up.
Thanks in advance,
Kathryn
