I'm having problems with fabrics that ravel (is that the right word?) and leave strings all over the edges. It's in the latest QuiltForKids kit I just got and the long strips are terrible to work with. I don't want to use fray-check cause it will make it stiff. Any suggestions?
I hope this is still on-topic---is there any way to tell in advance (before cutting) if this will happen? The fabric looks and feels fine until you handle it. I've never had this happen with fabric I've bought (even the Walmart fabric) so I guess I've been lucky but hope to avoid it happening in the future.
Thanks!
