I bought some fabric in Japan that I really liked, the threads are large and soft. Saying that I should have known that the weave was going to be loose. Sure enough, when I started sewing some pieces together, I end up with a whole bunch of little threads that have frayed from the edge. Will starching the whole fabric make the fraying less? Are there other alternatives to keeping this fabric together? Or perhaps this is not good quilting fabric and I should not use it? Thanks for any help.
