Help with silk hems

Either a rolled hem on your serger or a 1/8" narrow hem on your sewing machine. I like the 1/8 hem foot. Call your sewing machine store and ask if they have narrow hemming feet. Mine was about $6 Canadian last year.

Take a look on my web site at the Learning Zone, in which you will find instructions and diagrams for hems of various sorts. Then there's the 2 thread serged rolled edge... Examples in the Dressing Janneane project.

You guys are awsome! Thanks for the help! All within 30 minutes, too.

Ok then, your welcome! So what is it that you are making and using them for? just curious.

I am a magician and actor who is working on recreating a magic act from the late 1800s. The quality of silk you can get in magician supply shops is not always very good and is usually over-priced. Besides, I think this is a skill I can use quite a bit in my different theater projects.

Thanks again, Richard

Excellent! Do let us know how you get on with the sewing - and the magic!

Here's an alternate pathway, if you can use slightly larger scarves:

(habutai) 21.5" sq or (chiffon), 22" sqand: some primaries and mix your own colors.

Thanks guys! I wasn't familiar with the Dharma Trading Co. They seem to have a lot of what I am looking for...
