It is a very loose weave and has to be double sewn on the edges with no raw edges not to ravel. Athough a lot of the Huck embroidery does call to pull the horizontal strands out and leave a fringed edge. I machine sew several lines of stitching to keep the raveled edge the length I want it. It doesn't shrink, so, if lined, might could be used for the back of pillows or such.
