A short article on achieving good selvedges in handweaving, arguing that even edges reflect overall skill in warping, beaming, tension, bobbin winding, beating and shuttle handling. It covers sett and warp planning, tying on, winding bobbins with a central depression (Fig. 1), shuttle brakes for springy yarns, rhythm and beat timing, and a tabby test with white and black slippery yarns. It also explains why one edge may be worse than the other because of weft twist.
