Love runner number one the very best although all the runners are wonderful. <br /><br />Orlec, now that is a yarn I have yet to try...love the sheen - where does one purchase Orlec? <br /><br />Love your pretty model, thing the feet are so cute.<br /><br />Hug Miss Callie for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-3176194494583200322011-07-26T10:56:05.312-07:002011-07-26T10:56:05.312-07:00Sorry Dorothy!

I hit the wrong button on my cell phone (before I had my first cup of coffee)<br />Susan<br /><br /><br />dorothyLochmaben has left a new comment on your post "Blues Review": <br /><br />We must have been blogging at the same time !!<br />The runners look beautiful and I like the effect of the all blue ones, that certainly calms the pattern down nicely. I think I will vote for the orlec one, just have a feeling it will be nice and soft and as you say easy care. I don't know what our equivalent of orlec would be, it's not a name I know.<br />Great pictures and as always inspirational weaving ! <br />DorothySusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-60331042725751489312011-07-26T10:46:45.514-07:002011-07-26T10:46:45.514-07:00Thank you for the comments!

Then I use a 'running blind stitch' to invisibly hand sew the hem to the bottom edge of the hemstitching.<br />The end result is the cloth can be viewed either side (especially since the cloth's pattern is reversible too)<br />If you go to my main page and look at the right hand side bar, there are links to hand hemming there under 'Topic Shopping' (and also hemstitching)<br />There are lots of pictures so to show the technique. It was awkward to shoot and sew but I think it explains it well.<br /><br />SusanSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-15342397146861234082011-07-26T09:58:18.072-07:002011-07-26T09:58:18.072-07:00Beautiful as always!

The raw edge, the one at the very end of the runner, isn't turn under and stitched? Is it doubled back and included in the ladder hem somehow? Excuse my ignorance, but I just can't picture it.Threadbare Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522886005319257971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-51131854272633760392011-07-26T04:47:43.422-07:002011-07-26T04:47:43.422-07:00Just stunning!
