Interlaced hem stitch

Drawn thread

Interlaced hem stitch

Start by pulling out a block of weft threads from a loose woven fabric.  This stitch works from left to right.

1.Bring the needle up at point A and stitch around 4 of the pulled threads in an anti-

    clockwise direction pulling the 4 threads together.

2.  Bring the needle out at point B in preparation to stitch around the next set of 4 of the

     pulled threads in an anti-clockwise direction pulling the 4 threads together.

3.  The central long loose threads are then bound together with a simple tied stitch wound

     around a set of 4 threads in a clockwise direction before moving on to the next set.
