This is one of the best tutorials I have seen and read in a long time!!! I really appreciate all the different ideas I have seen but was not sure how to execute. Again thanks very much.
Does the lettuce hem have to be done with knit? Or can it be done with a quilting cotton?
The fabric needs to be stretched a lot in order to get the lettuce hem, so it really only works with knits.
What an amazingly helpful tutorial this is! Brilliant to see all the options in one post (which I’ve bookmarked for future reference!) Thank you so much for all the work you’ve done to put this altogether.
Thank you so much for compiling these hem types for us. It is such a great resource. Will these be kept in tutorials or where can we find them when we need them? than you again.
They should all be found in the tutorial section. Alternately, you can bookmark this post so you have all the links in the same place.
So useful, this compilation ! I love it. Thank you so much. Regards from France.
