Demystifying 18th Century Stitches:  Rolled Hems | CoCoVid 2020

Hello! 

Have you heard of the “rolled hem” stitch? Do you use it yourself?  

Did you know there are TWO stitches with this name?! Oh, my, the confusion…

Well, this video talks about their similarities and differences and how they were used, with full demonstrations of both, so you can see how they work and be able to tell them apart from each other. 

They really do need their own names…

Happy hemming!
