rolled hem
Tiny folded border
A rolled hem is a narrow, tightly curled fabric edge used in sewing, where the raw edge is rolled under and stitched to create a delicate finish.
Common on lightweight fabrics like chiffon and silk, it appears on scarves, blouse edges, and handkerchiefs: The napkins had hand-stitched rolled hems.
A rolled hem foot on a sewing machine automates the process.
