A few weeks back someone posted a hint on how to get fabric not to ravel in the washer and dryer by snipping the edge a certain way before washing. I would really like to read that hint again and try it but can't find it in our lists of topics on the QB. Can you please repost or send me a PM. Thanks, Mary

You can trim the cut edges with pinking shears, or some say they just trim the corner edges of the fabric.

Some say to trim the fabric corners. However, that didn't work for me. It may have something to do with how much yardage you are washing together; not sure.

I think the most full-proof method is to serge the edges (if you have a serger!).

besides clipping/snipping the corners, you need to use a gentle cycle!

Serge works great, get enough strings with making more.

I serge or zig zag the cut edges before I wash my fabric.

You cut off the corners at a 45 degree angle - about a half inch depending on width of selvage. I wash on gentle cycle only 6 minutes. This has worked good for me. Some people pin their corners together too. That would probably keep yardage from twisting.
