clipping threads and getting quilt ready to sandwich
I have a quilt top that I am sandwiching tomorrow and I have a few questions. The top is all pieced and pressed, but there are almost a million threads to clip. I don't think I've ever used fabric that frays so much. Since the quilt is king sized, it will take quite a bit of handling to get all the threads clipped and I am worried that it will fray more when I move on to another section. Is there a fix for this? How do you keep the fabric from fraying so bad? I use spray starch when ironing fabrics after washing....would it help to spray again after construction? Does anyone use liquid starch? I remember my mother using a liquid starch and then putting clothes in the fridge....what does that do? Sorry ....so many questions.....sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me....LOL
