I will definitely keep that in mind if it starts to fray!
What I did was iron it (a few times...) and leave it sans stitching. We're also under a time constraint (show opens on Thursday) and the costumer dropped this in my lap last week (don't know if I mentioned I made 7 of them). I told the actors to play nicely with the costume and I'm just going to check them to make sure they're not fraying/doing anything I don't want. If they do, I think the acrylic paint would be perfect.
Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions!
