@@ThreefoldDesigns Actually I do. I have been wondering how they hang the medieval tapestries when there was no Velcro. But I don’t know if you are interested in historical research...

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

@@teresinharoberts6421 No, I'm all about the present! Unless we can learn from them, of course ;) Maybe chat to your local museum or art gallery?

Hi there! I'm brand new to it all and in love with you and your work. You mention overlock to the very end of the edges - cant do it here, or maybe just dont know how to do it by hand? I've follow your brilliant tutorial on this amazing hem but am afraid it will not hold it once folded without some proper finishing. Help? Please? Thank you so much. Love from Scotland.

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Thank you, and welcome! If you have a sewing machine, you can use a zig zag stitch instead of overlocking ... if you want to do it by hand, you can use the traditional technique for the warp threads, and just fold over the same way - the only reason I use the overlocker/serger is because I'm too lazy to do it by hand! You can find info on the traditional technique here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoeYinlmmtWKqqs&ab_channel=RebeccaMezoff

If you're a tapestry weaver, please let me know *your* way of hanging them! :)

[@karinvaleri7130]

hello from the Westcoast of Canada!thankyou for posting!!! I thought of the batten idea but thought of only putting a hanger screw in middle of one batten but didn't know how to attach batten to tapestry lol...I so appreciate your velcro tape idea and 2 battens..I would like to share to a group I'm in. Easy peasy! Do you knot the back yarn close to the tapestry then trim a few cm?;thought I saw that? also on your studio wall there is a hanging made out of plant material or raffia? Can u show in a video? I have woven with raffia and grasses before and interested. You are so talented, I'm still a beginner. Here we have the West Coast Indigenous Salish/Haida people and they weave Chilkat tapestries, like a twining technique..they r so fast at it.

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Hi Karin! No, I only knot the ends if they are a slippery yarn like that metallic yarn - if it's more traditional yarn, then you don't need to 😁 The other piece is woven with x-ray film, you can check out my studio vlogs for more info on those 😉

[@pamelaabad9577]

This is so helpful! What type of Velcro do you use? I would really appreciate it if you could share a link to it ;) thanks so much!

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Yay, I'm so glad! I just use the sew-on Velcro, I'm in Australia so I get it from Spotlight: www.spotlightstores.com/sewing-fabrics/haberdashery/hook-loop/velcro-brand-sew-on-hook-loop-tape/80483335

[@pamelaabad9577]

Thanks so much! :) one last question, is the wooden batten a particular thickness and width? Or would it work with any sort of wood?

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

@@pamelaabad9577 I'm still playing with the width, but the thickness is usually about 1cm ;)

[@splotka]

Good idea with hook and loop thing. I fold edges like you, but instead of velcro I do the "tunnel" with wooden stick in it. Then I can hang my tapestry both sides (up-down, down-up). By the way, there are so many ways to finishing the taestry - as many as weaving weavers ;p Thanks for sharing with us your way :)

[@ThreefoldDesigns]

Aaah, so do you attach a piece of string to the wooden stick, and that is hooked to the wall? So you can see the string? Thanks for sharing!
