Embroidering the edges of your garment is a great way to to add a simple embellishment as well as a great way to get started with embroidery.  Edge stitches can be very simple and go very quickly.  And at the same time, they add something special to your garment that makes it personalized and unique.  Use a contrasting thread to make the stitching stand out or complimentary thread to blend colors.  Use edge embroidery on neck lines, cuffs, hem edges, pocket edges, or along the front of a jacket or open shirt.   Lots of Folkwear patterns are perfect for adding edge stitching to (and are even traditional to the pattern).  142 Old Mexico Dress often has stitching along the neckline and sleeve and hem edges.  You can see an example in the photos above of a white 142 Old
