2) How were the edges of the napkins finished: plain hem, rolled hem,
something else?
Because napkins were weaved together in a (for me called) „napkin
train line“ (which was rolled to be easily transported by the napkin
seller, and cutted in units by selling), on the edges paralel to the
warp threads the hem was „selfweaved“, without sewing work, but the
edges parallel to theweft threads needed to be stitched after be cutted.

The "selfweaved" edge is called a selvage and prevents the fabric from
unraveling.
