I am so glad I decided to do a search on fraying fabric. All of those little threads frustrate me to no end! Honestly, all fabric seems to do this, at least in my personal experience. Doesn't seem to matter if the fabric is from a LQS or purchased elsewhere. I thought I understood your well written instructions, but loved the pictures - as I could then be sure I had a correct understanding. A pinking rotary blade will be my next purchase!!!! So glad you shared!!
