What kind of finish is the 'hand hemming' mentioned in the scarf description?
When looking through the scarf specifications, you come across the unfamiliar sewing term hand hemming and wonder how it differs from a standard machine finish.
It is a high-end hand-sewing method where the edge of the fabric is rolled by hand and sewn stitch by stitch with a needle to prevent unraveling.
Hand hemming is a finishing technique where the edges of the fabric are rolled inward while hand-stitching each stitch. Unlike standard machine stitching, which presses and sews flat, the thread tension is adjusted by hand, creating a rounded, plump, three-dimensional finish at the edge of the fabric.
Thin, smooth fabrics like silk are prone to having their edges pressed flat or becoming stiff when sewn by machine. Finishing by rolling with hand stitches allows the edges to drape flexibly, feeling soft against the neckline when worn and preventing threads from easily unraveling.
For the scarf from MOONDAL, artisans handcraft this edge finish themselves to secure the threads[1].
The material of the thread used in the hand hemming process and the specific production time have not yet been confirmed in official materials.
