Edge finishing

A small change at the edge affects both the frame of the print and the finished square.

Bring an edge reference

Include a close-up of the face, reverse and corner of a scarf you like. If you prefer a hand-rolled or machine-stitched appearance, say which detail matters: the profile, stitch visibility or softness.

Keep artwork clear of the hem

Measure the finished scarf rather than the unhemmed cut panel. Ask for the allowance for the proposed finish before locking a narrow printed border.

Inspect all four corners

Lay the approved sample flat and compare the four edges. Look at the transitions around corners, the line of the printed border and how the corner sits when tied.
