What is a surge hem?
A "serged" hem is the kind of hem you'll find in most store-bought clothes. It is made with a sewing machine called a "serger" that uses three or four threads and a blade near the needle that trims the fabric as it is sewn. It's called "serged" in the USA but in other parts of the world this style of hem is call an "overlocked" hem. Serged hems are a cheaper style of manufacturing as opposed to "folded and stitched" hems and items like table linens with serged hems are usually quite a bit cheaper, if your thinking of buying table linens keep in mind many people do not like serged hems as they tend to curl outward and also tend to fray.
How do you place a marker in a sc when crocheting?
Do not use a closed stitch marker, those are for knitting. A crochet stitch marker looks like a giant safety pin, or you can use a regular safety pin. Simply insert the pin into the stitch in the same place you would insert your hook to make a stitch, and close it. When you get to that stitch again, take the pin out and move it up to the next row.
Hold Back Last Loop of each stitch?
This means to work the stitch to the last step but not complete the stitch. You would leave the last loop on the hook. For example, if you are working a double crochet: yarn over, insert hook in stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, stop there and move on to your next instruction. If you are to work another dc into the next stitch, you would yarn over as though to finish the stitch, but instead insert hook into next stitch, yo and pull through two loops. If you are to complete the stitch, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook. If you are to continue holding back, you would not complete the second double crochet, but instead yarn over and insert into next stitch, and so forth. You can repeat this as many times as instructed.
