One of your selvages will be nicer than the other one - make that side your hem side. - pay attention to your twill line - it should be 45 degrees in the FINISHED (and fulled) fabric - so swatching a BIG swatch is necessary - a full yard square isn't too much. Divide it in half. Full and finish one half yard like you will the complete length. Keep the other one by your loom for a reference.
That Weathered McKenzie sash that I've got in the back of my head..... TOO MANY PROJECTS!!!!
There have been THREE projects (JC's kilt, my dress and sash) added to my to do list just this WEEK!
Wow, were practically neighbors. Let me know how things work out, I may have to do some weaving in between my kilting.

A day without killting is like a day without sunshine.
