By reducing the width of the feather stitch to zero, this action is accomplished, and the desired holes will remain in the fabric. 12 ROLLED AND WHIPPED EDGE This is an heirloom sewing technique, in which a small amount of fabric is rolled to finish the edge of fine fabrics, also making the edge more durable.
