The revelation of a new skill, and the edge of the Seymour cuffs
Have you ever worked for several attempts at something, failed miserably each time, then had someone else show you in a way that made sense immediately? Have you had that feeling of self-reproach, wondering, "How on earth did it take me so long to get this?"
Thanks to eithni, I finally understand rolled hems, and I have an edge to my Seymour cuffs that's about 2 mm wide (or about as wide as the little diamonds on the edging) as in the original.
The one part I can't figure out yet is exactly what seems to be going on with the edging. Is it a simple double-running stitch with French knots? (I know French knots were used in Sweden about 30 years later, as they're on one of the Sture shirts.) Ought I to have worked that before I hemmed it?
