Product Information

You can use a sewing machine to create stitching that functions similarly to those produced by sergers. Note: you’ll likely need to use special feet, like overcast presser feet, to achieve the desired goal. It lasts through repeated gentle washings and can also be used to seal the ends of braiding and trims. The name for this technique makes it sound way more formal and complex than it is. These seams are strong, making them perfect for denim, bedding, shirts, skirts, and clothes that will be used and washed often. Plus, they’re decorative enough to work well with lightweight silk fabrics. The length of the actual drying time will vary for you. The type of fabric, the environment in your room and other factors will either speed up or slow the drying time down. Each situation should be a bit different.

Finally, we have fringing. This technique works wonders, and the fact that it’s been around for hundreds of years is a testament to that, but it’s also very visual. More often than not it’s used as a decorative edging rather than to stop fraying. However, if you don’t like the look of fringe, you can crochet the edge. Masking tape is one of the easiest and most economical ways to secure fabric edges while embroidering. The smaller the project, the narrower your tape should be. Fold the tape around so that the fabric edge is in the middle. Masking tape comes off easily, and any residue can be removed with a damp, soapy cloth. If you’re using an actual frame to display your work, you can leave the tape on so long as there’s enough material that it won’t show.

The tighter the fabric is weaved, the less likely it is to fray. Fabrics that fray also tend to be older; as fabric ages, its fibers become weaker and more susceptible to damage. Finally, fabrics that receive a lot of wear and tear are more likely to fray than those that are used less frequently. This is because the fabric is constantly being manipulated, which can cause the fibers to loosen and come apart. Ultimately, any fabric can fray if it’s not cared for properly or if it’s subject to a lot of wear and tear. However, some fabrics are more prone to fraying than others. Test on a small area of material first. Use carefully on the cut edge of the fabric and allow to dry before use. However, this isn’t a problem when working with knits and other non-woven fabrics because they don’t fray! Make your buttonholes the right size.
