A hemstitch is a really useful way to start and finish a weave on either a frame loom or rigid heddle weaving loom. Here I am finishing a Tartan coaster. We have a blog showing each step to hemstitching on our TabbyandTweed website called ‘Stopping the unravel 10 steps to a perfect hemstitch on a little loom’. Our weaving kits can be purchased from our TabbyandTweed website shop for UK delivery and our TabbyandTweed Etsy shop for delivery elsewhere. #hemstitch #weavingkit #tartan #tartanweaving
