It was sold to me to use on the edges of buttonholes of a flannelette nightgown .... and I have hesitated for that reason.
Thoughts?

Oh, good! Just have to dab a bit on the end of an applique seam when the spool ran out at the very, very end! Too lazy to "un-sew" and do it again.
Says you only need the smallest bit. Only used it before where it wouldn't be seen later.
Thanks!

If you use only a small amount it's not so stiff that it would bother you. You have to make sure it's not against your skin or in an underarm area. One of the 4-H kids decided it would be a great way to finish seas on her garment. It almost ate her alive, rubbing her skin. But I've used it with applique with great results. You have to be careful with the amount and where you put it, but it's a great product.

Fray check is great for buttonholes. I use it on anything that may ravel. It is good to prevent a pick on a knit garment to keep it from enlarging. End use fray check to stop a run in panty hose.
Be sure to use only a very small amount. I like Dritz brand better. Tried another brand found it to be to thick.
