The term 'fabric border' refers to the edges of a piece of fabric, which can be finished in several ways. The most common methods are SEAM, SELVAGE, FRINGE, and HEM. SEAM is a line of stitching that joins two pieces of fabric together. SELVAGE is the tightly woven edge of a fabric that prevents it from unraveling. FRINGE is a decorative trim made of loose threads or tassels. HEM is a folded edge of fabric that is stitched in place.
