Finishing Touches for the Handweaver

by Virginia M. West

 You have just spent many delightful hours in planning and weaving that special piece.  Now take one more step to set it apart with a special finish.  Included in this book are many ideas and instructions to add or weave various fringes, knots, braids, and stitches.  Or, plan to weave in decorative finishes such as Leno, Brooks Bouquet or Spanish Lace.   Directions for several forms of hemstitching are described and diagrammed.   Two chapters provide instructions for many decorative fringes and weaving fringe on the loom.  Chapters are also dedicated to how to join widths of woven fabric and how to create and attach different bag handles.
