Finishing Touches for the Handweaver by Virginia West Revised 1988 The right finishing touch can mean as much to a piece of weaving as the right frame for a picture. This book shows how to make and add handles to bags, how to join widths of handwoven materials, how to make and secure decorative fringes, how to warp the end of braids and miter corners, using embroidery techniques as finishing touches, and so on. The ideas and instructions are very clear and complete. This is an essential book for every weaver's library!

A Classic

This is a classic book that every weaver should have in his/her library. Clear instructions on many finishing techniques from fringes to lace edges, braids to bag handles. A real collector's item.

Finishing Touches for the Handweaver

Excellent! Very clear instructions for many different finishes. I highly recomend this book for all handweavers.

A classic weaver's reference book, with clear instructions.

A great reference book for handweavers filled with finishing techniques to make your creations unique. Instructions are clearly written and illustrated, accompanied by lovely full color photographs. While some of the techniques may be time consuming to perform, the end result is worth it. This book is a standard for the weavers bookshelf and due to become a collector's piece - Interweave Press has recently announced they will no longer be printing it
