With a thin rolled hem, I finished my cushion, which I had designed as an exuberant pin cushion to keep on the cantilever embroidery cabinet: a temporary receptacle for pins and needles scattered on the floor. I am pleased because I figured out how to cut the corners to make it easier to roll the hem, even though it is one of the most daring tasks. Basically, I just rounded them off without cutting them cleanly, so they don’t form corners and don’t fray. However, it is still necessary to start turning the corner well in advance and to do a lot of wet rolling work in order to double the corner, avoiding creases and excessive bulging. For those who find my words nonsensical, I would like to point out that this hem is achieved by slightly moistening your fingers to force the fabric to roll up on itself, creating a small cylinder to be pinned with the hemstitch. Your fingers must work repeatedly on the same centimetre of fabric to achieve a tight and uniform roll.
