This month, we will work with a Single or Jersey Knit and learn a fun Rolled Hem technique. The Technique is a Lettuce Edge. This decorative edge is used to finish the hem and edges of knit fabrics. The stretch of the knit makes this technique possible and it’s a very easy and quick way to make something plain into fancy. The Project is a Cape, Cowl, Hood, or Scarf. The project has only one seam
Techniques this month: Lettuce Edge
Hi I'm PJ
Since 2006 I’ve been a teacher at Montavilla Sewing Centers in the Portland Metro area. I design, produce and teach the monthly projects for Babylock Serger Club, Janome, BabyLock and Brother Machine Embroidery Club, and 8” Block of the month Club.
I have a lot of fun creating projects, designs, and patterns that incorporate techniques and products to encourage the students to get the most out of their Sergers or Embroidery Machines.
