This looks like a wing needle to me - but I am not an expert. *4U

Hi, are you talking about the edge or where the holes are? If its about the hole, you can use a "Wing Needle" this needle is wider than usual and if you use a stitch which goes back and forth in the same area, this creates the hole. If not this, then I'm not sure, good luck

Often call Hemstitch or Pin stitch. It is often used in heirloom embroidery and Madeira applique. Many sewing machines have a built in stitch to do this. Use a large or wing needle and fine thread and a stitch that goes back and forth in the same holes a few times to pull the fabric so the holes open. Check your sewing machine manual to see if they give directions. Martha Pullen shows this a lot on her Public Television show, so probably has some help on her website. Hope this helps, if not please ask for more detail.

Looks to me they used a wing needle; works great with an open hem stitch on your machine to get an heirloom finish to hankies, napkins (serviettes) and so on.

I use the sewing machine wing needle and wash away stabilizer on the back of cotton/linen fabric. When making kitchen towels, I add embroidery desgins. Redwork or line color day of week designs work well.
