I realized that the way you described was probably a better way to do it but it was too late. </p> <p>Btw I don't know why that should embarrass me, when I can post a picture of my behind stretched into a pair of skinnies, no problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-cut-off-the-fringe-and-ruined-my-scarf#post-512840 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:24:09 +0000 Queen Mum 512840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no reason to be embarrassed. But we might be able to offer better advice if we see what you're dealing with.<br /> So, it sounds like you cut the fringe right up to the edge? Perhaps you might be on to something with cutting a very straight edge and then create about 1/4 inch of fringe. I always leave about 1/4 inch of the fringe when I cut it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-cut-off-the-fringe-and-ruined-my-scarf#post-512833 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:18:22 +0000 Carole 512833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, I'm almost too embarrassed to show you, but when I get a chance I will swallow my pride and snap a picture. </p> <p>Jenny Anne, good tip. Somehow I was thinking that perhaps I need to cut a better edge and then take a few threads off the end, so you have a little self fringe, if that makes sence. I'm afraid adding a hem would add bulk and not be a good look, but I could be totally off base. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-cut-off-the-fringe-and-ruined-my-scarf#post-512830 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:14:50 +0000 JennyAnne 512830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Do you have a sewing machine? If it looks ragged, you could turn up the hem again and stitch it. Or try using steam-a-seam if you don't have a machine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-cut-off-the-fringe-and-ruined-my-scarf#post-512825 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:12:08 +0000 Queen Mum 512825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>show us a pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-cut-off-the-fringe-and-ruined-my-scarf#post-512821 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:11:05 +0000 Carole 512821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have read here to cut the fringe off to elevate the style quotient of a scarf, but mine looks like I cut the fringe off, and I don't think it's suppose to look like that.
