I cut off the fringe and ruined my scarf....

Carole

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. Any tricksyou can share to help me remedy.

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.

Kim, I'm almost too embarrassed to show you, but when I get a chance I will swallow my pride and snap a picture.

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.

no reason to be embarrassed. But we might be able to offer better advice if we see what you're dealing with.
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.

Yes, right up to the edge.I was wondering what you experts have done. I realized that the way you described was probably a better way to do it but it was too late.

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!
