Prym 968020-1 Fray Check, one size,Transparent

Product Information

Some fabrics tend to fray more than others. Sheer fabrics, beautiful and exotic as they are, can give you the worst uphill battle before you even start to sew. Place the felt square onto the shank of the Craft eye, before adding the washer and pushing it down EVENLY, until it ‘clips’ into place. Also, both products can be hard to use as the bottles are so small and inevitably you will get some on your fingers. When that happens you have to stop what you are doing and clean your hands. You will have to squeeze the bottle a little bit to make the liquid flow but squeeze gently so that you do not get too much at one time. Once you have applied the adhesive you just wait for it to dry before continuing on with that part of the project. It is specifically designed for use in the binding of fibres to prevent fraying of fabric hems and seams.

Pinking shears look like scissors with teeth and you can find them at any craft store or online. You use them as you would use scissors, cutting a new edge onto your fabric.
