Talk:Selvage

Baffling
I was fairly baffled by this page. It defined a selvage as a 'frayed' edge, and continued to do so over several revisions. I don't know if this is some difference in US/UK usage, but the referenced definition states that it is not a frayed edge. I also added the picture which shows all the characteristics I would expect of a selvage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JohnHollingum (talk • contribs).

Stub?
I'm no expert, but this looks like a fairly finished article, although it is still quite short. I'm just not sure what else would be needed to make this complete. ~ MD Otley (talk) 06:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's at least standard C-class: a decent structure, lots of content, solid sources. Perhaps a section on the history of selvages can be added. --an odd name 19:41, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Usability of the selvage
This statement in the article is not true as far a homemade clothes are concerned: "For garments, however, the selvage is used as a structural component as there is no need to turn under that edge to prevent fraying if a selvage is used instead." To use the selvage to avoid finishing the seam is pretty much guaranteed to lead to a puckered seam and a distorted garment, and sewing books specifically warn against it.
