This was twin needled. The tighter tension helps it "tunnel" which is a good thing here. Many is the time I have see Martha Pullen just cut back to the stitching line on the back and call it a day. This is the first time I have tried it. I personally would think it would be ok hand washed. I am not sure this would take the beating of the washing machine. Perhaps someone reading this who has tried this technique can let us know. I know there are quite a few followers who are experienced heirloom stitchers so hopefully one will chime in.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-65857556307877952272011-06-09T18:29:52.688-04:002011-06-09T18:29:52.688-04:00What a delicious little dress- it seems too good f...What a delicious little dress- it seems too good for a doll! Your hem technique has really caught my attention. So you used the "channelling" that I get from a twin needle and don't want, to create that cute effect. What a good idea! If you made a hem like this on a little girl's dress that would be washed, do you think the hem would be OK if you just cut it close like you have done? Or do you think in this case it would unravel with washing? Just curious, feeling very inspired :-)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.com
