Eureka

                                
A big thank you for everyone's encouraging comments yesterday.  One lady, Audrey, who doesn't blog, but does read blogs, took the time to comment and told me all about fray check

                                                            

Maybe everyone already knew about this but me? But just in case I am going to share.  I have just bought some off Amazon for £3.79 and, as Audrey suggested, I will try a bit on some scraps first to see how it turns out and make sure colours don't run
Does anyone else use this?

  1. I've heard of it but never used it. But I'm always late to the party with stuff like this. Earlier I used wonderclips making my tote and thought OMG how did I not use these before!

  2. Never heard of it and await your report. Glad you have been given some helpful advice which was more than I could do for you.

  3. I've read about this a lot but cannot remember where (it was on some of the mega popular blogs though, I'm sure of it). Actually didn't realise it was available here in UK. You must let us know what you think of it - hopefully it'll help you feel a little more confident about those seams.

  4. VKerryB mentioned it on her blog/instagram making a top recently, so I am guessing it will have magical powers!

  7. I should have thought of it. I used it all the time when I was weaving. It will do the trick, it is a liquid glue that will seal the edges.

  9. Yes, my DD has used it, but for dressmaking, with 'difficult' fabric. I would not have thought of it here.... Oh for a brain that could think...
