You can use any of these weaving techniques to combine sewing and narrow weaving to cover/finish and protect any edges that are get a great deal of wear & tear and require to be strong.
TW has a different structure and look then weaving techniques that use heddles (where the weft goes over and under the warp). I do not yet know which would be stronger or would wear down slower. I plan to test it out and see.
Examples: wrist cuffs, coat or jacket front edges (especially when there are buttons under tension), the edge of neckholes, bags, etc.
Weaving Techniques
- Tablet Weaving (TW) [a.k.a. Card Weaving]
- Ridgid Heddle Weaving *
- String Heddle Weaving *
Either technique can be used to make a flat or tubular/round edge finish. Since the warp threads are twisted, the surface effect is different then the other techniques.
* Either heddle technique creates the same results.
When the weft only passes through the fabric on every 2nd pass, the weaving is flat and appears on the front or on one side.
Passing the weft through the fabric on each pass, so that it sandwiches the fabric on both sides, you get a tubular (or 'C' shaped) edge which protects the fabric's edge from wear and tear a bit more.
Two differnt techniques of sewing/weaving used for decorating and strengthening the edges of clothing.
Footweave or "slynging" (tabby weave)
- A string heddle or rigid heddle can be used.
-
One of the sheds is created with the string or rigid heddle and the foot holds the other shed.
and
Edge weaving, Tablet Woven piping or TW piped edging (various names used)
- Extant finds using two hole TW cards.

"Footweave or "slynging" is a combination of weaving and sewing, where the weft thread in the weave is also the sewing thread that secures the woven edge down to
the cloth. On the right side, the footweaving can be seen as a tabby weave. On the reverse side, only the cross-threads can be seen. Drawing: Irene Skals."
Fig. 25a and b (page 32)
"Schematic presentation of tablet-woven piped edging. This is a combination
of tablet weaving and stitching where the weft thread in the tablet weaving is also the sewing thread that secures the edging to the cloth. On the reverse side (a) only the crossthreads– possibly with filler threads underneath – can be seen. On the right side (b) the edging can be seen as parallel-lying cords, while the weft thread is invisible. Drawing: Irene Skals."
Fig. 26 (page 33)
"A seam allowance secured with a tablet-woven piped edging. Two threads – probably turned around
each other with the help of a two hole tablet – produce a cord that is sewn down with overcast stitches. Alternatively, this can be achieved by twisting two threads together with the fingers at the same time as the overcast stitches are sewn. On some of the longitudinal seams the cord is seen innermost, at other times, outermost. Drawing: Irene Skals."
