Rigid Heddle Loom - Hem Stitch for Beginners

This video walks you through doing a basic hem stitch on your weaving. The hem stitch allows you to simply cut your project from the loom when it is complete instead of tying off knots along each end. There are many hem stitches you can learn-this is just a very basic one.

Thank you , very good teacher!

[@PatientFarmer]

Hi, I'm new to weaving. Thank you for explaining WHY I need to weave an inch in waste yarn! That makes so much sense!

[@cerwelt]

Excellent tutorial. Noticed you’ve stopped recording KZbin videos. Hope all is well. I enjoy your teaching. Very clear and easy to follow.

Thanks from a beginning weaver!

[@suzannekt]

I enjoy your videos. You are calm, friendly, thoughtful, focused. You use nice contrast so we can see what you are doing and you go slowly and methodically through the processes. I’m just starting my third rigid heddle project. Thank you.

[@galindawright840]

Oh my gosh, I just learned so much just now. Please please make more beginner friendly weaving videos. Thank you I finally get how to do the end of the project hem.

[@Vidiodyssey]

Your videos are fantastic! I have learned so much, and had success on my very first project, not without mistakes, but it came out looking great. Thanks again and looking forward to more videos on weaving

[@mslopez2u]

I adore your lessons!!!! Thank you so much!!!! ❤️from Everett, WA

[@knitrxsews7040]

Thank you! Great explanation and visual! !

[@Elphaba571]

So clear and concise, thank you!

[@audreyburman3023]

Very clear directions which I appreciate, and the focus of the camera is great, too. I am just starting a project and needed to review how to hemstitch. I forget the steps so easily!

[@maisygirl9448]

I guess I should've watched til the end where you mentioned turning the loom around to finish! Thanks again for a great video!❤️😊

[@squaresoralfetish]

I'm currently crashing into this craft on a 3d printed loom. I started my first project yesterday and finished it last night. This video helps so much. As a knitter, I understand this perfectly. Thanks.

[@conniebueche3989]

I definitely subscribed and hit the bell, thank you and I can’t wait for more content from you, you’re my new go-to!

[@blaineharkins9479]

Thank you! This helped so much!

[@gypsychc]

thank you! would love to see a double heddle video by you.

[@hippiechickandvintagetom]

like your video's I feel I am really learning.....Thanks you ~hippie chick~

[@suzetteyoungblood6887]

Very clear demonstration. If I forgot to leave a long tail when I first started weaving my towel is there another way to do this? Can I add yarn and weave the ends in? Thanks, Suzette

[@thevioletunicornknittingtu8124]

Hi Suzette! It’s ideal to do the hem stitch at the beginning before you start rolling your project down, but it can be done after if you get everything held good and tight so that your stitches are even. ☺️

[@suzetteyoungblood6887]

@@thevioletunicornknittingtu8124 thank for replying so quickly. Since I didn’t leave a long enough tail at the beginning can I either tie on a piece of yarn to the tail I did leave? Or can I use a separate piece of yarn and then weave those ends in? I should’ve watched this before lol

[@worksofhands]

Thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering how you choose the colours to the warp, like is it randomly , or do you have a pattern? You always have a great colour choice.

[@maisygirl9448]

Love this! 😍 Excellent focus, yarn contrast, and camera angle... I finally got it! Do you have a video of hemstitching at the other end?

[@sharonmurrell9291]

So, you're going between the same space as the last stitch ended?? If that is so then I think I've got it. I didn't know to use the hemstitch at the beginning. Thanks😊

[@juanitasmith6157]

Can you do a log cabin video?

[@wilmacneil]

Would you say this is easiest while the piece is still on the loom?

[@thevioletunicornweaving]

Definitely! It’s ten times easier if the project is rigid.

[@Angelwool]

What if I didn't leave myself a long enough tail, may I add on more?

[@thevioletunicornweaving]

Hi there! It’s ideal to use just one long thread, but if you find you came up short you could weave in your end, weave in the end of the new thread, and then continue on.

[@Angelwool]

[@hannah9315]

Could you tell me what kind or size needle you're using? I can't tell in the video

[@thevioletunicornweaving]

Hi there! I was using a darning needle for the hem stitch-the same type I use to sew in the ends when knitting.
