The fine stitch used to hem fourteenth-century veils has been described in Textiles and Clothing as “particularly suited to fine silks” but one that “demands more skill and manual dexterity” than regular hemstitches (Crowfoot et al, 1992, p. 158), but Arianne is here to show you that the stitch is much easier than it looks! Learn everything you need to know to make your own exquisitely fine silk veils for reenactment or modern use.
