Trim edges of yardage to be straight. Set your sewing machine to the widest zig zag stitch & the shortest length – a satin stitch. Run the edge of your fabric through the machine. Trim threads.

Cut off selvege. With your seam ripper collect 2-4 of the threads going the width of the fabric.

Pull at a 45ยบ angle. The fabric will want to gather, then it will loosen from the edges. Repeat until you have about 2-3 inches of fringe

Tie a knot for every 1/2 inch of fringe to keep the edges from fraying more.Alternatively, you could do a simple straight stitch just above the fringe & let the fringe be unruly.4-tie-knots
