Manufacturing Examples

How do we sew our Tablecloths, Napkins, Overlays, Chair Covers, Sashes & more?

Our standard approach to manufacturing our linens uses a Five-Thread Overlock machine and a Four-Thread Merrow (Merot) edge finish. This construction is designed for durability, clean edges, and long-term performance after multiple washes.

What is a Merot (Merrow) Edge?

The Merot Edge is our standard finish for table napkins and the edges of tablecloths, overlays, sashes, and more. It provides a clean, durable edge that helps prevent fraying.

We also offer an upgraded Baby Hem Edge on select items.

What is a Reversible French Seam?

A French Seam joins two panels of fabric with a multi-step process that hides the raw seam allowance inside. This creates a clean finish and a truly reversible look.

Example: In our Shantung Satin line, a French Seam allows you to rent or use the product with either the dull or shiny face outward.

What is a Baby Hem Edge?

A Baby Hem is a narrow rolled hem sewn with a single needle. The fabric edge is double-turned to reduce visibility and create a clean, durable finish—especially helpful for items that will be washed frequently.

We recommend Baby Hem for fabrics with looser weaves (such as Vintage Linen / Poly Burlap-look styles), where repeated washing may cause edges to open over time.

For napkins made in these fabrics, Baby Hem helps keep the edges stable and wash-friendly.
