Learn how to hemstitch;
Working the hemstitch
Hold the hem horizontally with your thumb on the hem. Lay the end of your thread in the fold of the hem. Working from left to right, take a small backstitch through just the hem to anchor the thread. Pick up two threads from the work and pull gently. Then pick up two threads from the folded hem, to the right of the first stitch. Move on to the next two thread in the work, pull gently then pick up two threads in the hem. Note: in the first photograph below that the stitch in the body of the work goes from right to left, although we are working our row in the opposite direction! Continue towards the corner;
