Edges of work.

What do you do to the edges of your work before you start? I find that just a fine line of clear nail polish helps. Others stitch or overlock their work.

I find placing painter's tape on the edge and folding over onto itself allows me to use a larger hoop and it is easily removed when complete and not sticky.

I either use a zigzag stitch (if I use my sewing machine) or whip stitch if by hand.

The larger pieces of linen are serged when I buy them. If I need a smaller piece I run into problems because I don't have a serger. I've tried to hand stitch the edges but found that the five theads or so deep that I whip the edge will all separate from the rest as a single unit. So, it doesn't work for me, I think I lose less theads off the sides if I don't whip the edges at all.
