<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9898853, member: 76316"]As I'm not familiar with the techniques employed, this will perhaps be a superfluous comment...but both of the upper hems shown seem to be a combination of doubling of the fabric with the attached edge not simply stitched down but somehow worked into the latticed narrow openwork at that edge. My guess is that the flip side would appear almost identical to what can be seen on this side.</p><p>If I'm correct, I wonder what that type of seam is properly called? It is surely a time-consuming, eye-straining an' labor-intensive process...but the intentionally decorative work beneath those seams steals the show unless you focus closely on that sweet seam work. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
