5. Book with more details you may own or borrow from your library. Reminder: Even though your library may not have a copy, they can get one from another library. Once I needed info from a library across the Atlantic Ocean. They would not send the book, but they did send photocopies of the 2 pages I needed.

sewn seam, cut handwoven fabric
The flat felled seam seems to be a popular one for handwovens. On my cowl scarves, I've been working on this seam - it is tidy and not terribly difficult. This link is to a youtube video demonstrating this seam.
To be honest, though, I wish I had a serger for my cut edges. I do both a zigzag and, on top, a straight sewn line, prior to cutting, and on both sides. I'm looking forward to learning how others work with their handwoven, and to the support provided by this great group.
I've joined panels using a
I've joined panels using a fagotting stitch in Virginia West's book. It's out of print now.
You can see the join.
Decorative faggoting stitch
I really, really like that cover, ReedGuy. Such a pretty method to join the 2 pieces. I searched the stitch name. Colette's bog is for sewers, but it describes how to do this join.

Fringe ends as joins
In another group I mentioned that I finished my pocket edges by weaving the fringe back into the fabric. Francine suggested using the same method as a structural join.
I do not know if it is necessary in this case, but I do a weaver's hemstitch on any ends that will not have a knot to secure the weft.
With a blunt needle, weave each fringe end into the other fabric.
