If you routinely hem knit garments using your sewing machine, consider combining several stitches to achieve a custom hem finish. In the example below, there are 2 rows of straight stitching on either side of a triple zig-zag stitch. Pretty, and very unique! Try experimenting with the various stitch options on your sewing machine to see what you can create!
Happy sewing!

Really great tip – almost looks like a pointelle!
Thanks Kat! One of my students brought this garment in that she had made and I thought it was awesome!
This is brilliant, thank you!
Thanks Inge!
That’s really cute and chic Maris. How do you allow the straight stitch to have some give? Do you stretch it a little as you sew?
Thanks Gwen! Yep, stretch a bit and lengthen your stitch as well.
That’s genious! Thanks alot!
Thanks Mareike!
