What is Hemstitching?

  • by Helena Hendricks

Hemstiching

Hemstitching is an ornamental stitch made by pulling out several parallel threads and tying the cross threads together into tiny bunches. It is a decorative drawn thread work technique that is typically sewn at the hem of a piece of fabric. Small ornate holes are made in the fabric and are patterned designs that resemble lace. The hemstitch is a decorative form of needlework that has been used for centuries and was originally used to hold a hem in place. Historically, hemstitching was an involved process, but technological advances now allow sewing machines to perform this intricate needlework.
