Do you sew or hand tie?

[VIP4life]

Way back when, we used to hand tie out ribbon fringe. Now that I have cheaper sources for ribbon and I have a household to take care of I sew them on. Both ways looks nice. Some of Shelly Bointey's shawl are some examples of hand tieing. Her shawls are purty.

I personally think it looks better when tie them! But it just takes so long! So all my shawls are sew down! :Chatter

The first shawl set I made, and yes I did make one;) Was all sewn down. I had thought about tying the ribbon though.... hmmmm

The other day when I was in Downtown LA I picked up some 500yd hot pink ribbon for a dollar. Then I picked up some 3 spools of bright green for 3 dollars. It's size 1/8. So some time this spring I'll have myself a hand tied shawl.:Angel2

on all the work I do I sew because it's much easier and faster and it comes out good.
