A New Technique
So, the sampler for Merry Cox's Stitch, Mend and Mark design is finished with a rolled hem. I have never done a rolled hem before. Easy to execute on 28 count, loosely woven linen. Not as easy to execute on 36 count linen. I did my best. The front side looks fine; back side could be better, but it's done.

Looks good to me. I have not done the roll stitch on needlework. Is it like doing it on cotton, like on a hankie?
Haven't tried that before on linen...seems like it would be difficult!
It looks good - front AND back.
I've always wanted to do a mitered hem finish - the overly-ambitious part of me wants to mount a mitered hemmed sampler on another piece of slightly different colored linen before framing. Yeah, sure - that'll happen.
I'm surprised! I thought it would be difficult with any linen and even worse with a lower count. But since I've never tried it, I am wrong again!
It is lovely!
