Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare the Scarf Fabric

Ensure your scarf fabric is cut to dimensions, with even edges. Choose a roll width between 1 cm and 1.5 cm.

2. Pinch the Edge of the Scarf

Using both hands, pinch the edge of the fabric with your thumb and index fingers, placing them very close to the edge.

3. Roll the Edge of the Scarf

Gently roll the edge to create a narrow strip about 1 cm wide. This prepares it for sewing.

4. Begin to Sew

Start from the inside of the rolled edge. Insert the needle outward through the first stitch hole, then pass it back through the same position.

5. Pick Up the Fabric

Pick up a small amount of fabric (approx. 0.5 cm). For a finer finish, reduce this to 0.3 cm.

6. Secure and Continue

Secure the starting point. Gently pull and roll the fabric with your left hand while sewing with your right. Maintain consistent tension to avoid distortion or wrinkles.
