MemberSo I have finally cut out the toole for the perfect veil, but I don’t know how to finish the edges. My fi and I both like pencil edging, but that is the one kind I don’t know how to do!
Suggestions? I tried doing a narrow zig-zag stich with my sewing machine, but it just doesn’t look very good.

MemberI am using ribbon and hand stitching the edges of my veil. It’s chapel length and has two layers, so it’s taking a while!
MemberHey ginnyc! I made the pencil edging on my veil using a serger, which is the only way I know of to make a true pencil edge. I happened to know someone with a serger, but if you don’t, perhaps you could ask around on the WB local boards, or maybe check with a seamstress/tailor? I’m not totally sure about where you could find one, but if you wanted to do something to the edges yourself, I like EvaBostonTerrier’s suggestion of sewing a thin ribbon to the edge to give some definition. Good luck!!
