You could make a feature of the edge and hand sew a blanket stitch. This would look decorative and would stop further fraying. Otherwise, you could turn the edge over twice to create a double hem. A serger sews, cuts, and finishes a seam all at the same time. For this reason, it can save you time. Use a serger to secure the edge.

I took these photos to put together a photo tutorial about inserting Craft eyes, and I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that was almost a year ago!!! I thought I’d better put this up before it’s a whole year gone by!!!Originally designed as a wood glue we have changed the formulation so that it now works well on all hard surfaces as well as some non-porous. Good for use with polystyrene. I need a solution for repairing polyester pajama pants that fray at the seams. The pants are loose fitting but, probably from shifting during sleep, each of the major seams has frayed right into the garment. How can I stabilize the seams without sacrificing comfort? I don’t have any felt so I am trying a double layer of white fleece. I think it will work. I am making Digger the Dachhound for my sister-in-law who had to put her dog down. I am making it in a reddish brown mottled cotton. It looks really good so far. Reply

Fray Stop is resistant to normal washing and will not damage the plastic componentry of sewing machines.Hi there, I have napkins that have a frayed edge and want to be able to hand stitch something to stop it from fraying further. Sewing is new to me so any advice would be helpful. Pre-cut ¼ inch (6mm) narrow strips to add to the raw edges of the seam before sewing. This will stop the fabric from fraying. If you still wish to use a French seam, trim off the fusible facing before you turn the fabric and sew the second step. You can also place hemming tape inside a folded edge and then press it with an iron according to the instructions. 4. Pinking Shears A simple machine zigzag stitch on the edge of the fabric also works well on cotton. Try a zig-zag of width 3 and length 3 and see how that looks and whether the fraying is stopped. A three-step zig-zag is also a good stitch to stop fraying and can make the edges sit flatter.
