Dear Constant Reader,
It’s Friday! I almost forgot what day it was. I took this week off from work and teaching and other responsibilities and I totally lost track of time. Let’s see if I can come up with a tip for you…
When prewashing fabric you think is going to fray a lot, seam the two raw edges together with a zigzag stitch.
After the fabric has been washed and dried, cut off the stitching (preferably along a grainline for a clean, straight line) and press like usual.
Yes, you could zigzag each end separately, but doing it this way also keeps the fabric from twisting and knotting up on itself while tumbling around in the machines. That’s like two tips in one!
Have a great Labor Day weekend, everyone*!
