Darn, I am so rushed to finish a Christmas present, was hoping to finish the weaving, twist the fringe and wet finish tonight so that it could hopefully be put in tomorrow's mail, and so of course I made a rookie mistake. I forgot that I have hemstitching at the beginning of the scarf, and failed to put in the hemstitching at the end of the scarf before cutting off the loom. I do have 4 picks of plain weave and then about 5 inches of ends for the fringe. Is it at all possible to hemstitch after the weaving is no longer under tension? I am really kicking myself. Thank you for any suggestions.

Twist the fringe on the end of the scarf that you have just cut off. Then remove the hemstitching from the beginning end of the scarf (very carefully and a bit at a time) and twist that end to match the other one. At least it will be the same on both ends and should be fine. I don’t hemstitch when I plan to twist a fringe anyway.
