Finishing Touches in Your Toolbox
When: Thursday, July 23
Time: 1:30P to 4:30P
Instructor: Loretta Stacy

Learn 3 types of hemstitching so when you cut your weaving from the loom, your item is securely finished. You will also learn how to incorporate hemstitching as a design feature.

Students should bring a warped rigid heddle or shaft loom warped 12" wide with a short warp.  We will only use about 18" so warp with something you can weave off for a table runner later.

Students should also bring 2 wound bobbins, shuttle and scissors.
