I read a tip on line about how to wash fabric to keep from fraying.

So I saved all my new purchases for about two months (as we all know that can be a lot for a quilter) and took the fabric and cut both sides with a pinking rotary blade in my rotary cutter and wa-la no fraying.
Really NONE.

You just cut the two sides not the selvedge. It realy works. I am in heaven! Try it.

I have pinking scissors but originally tried them on fat quarters. Took to long and I tended to cut to close in order to save fabric. You can use them but the blade is really quick and easy!

F.Y.I. The pinking blade was I think Friskers brand, they have wavy and more. I just bought the one that looked like a pinking blade. It actually read decoration blade. I am just so tickled now that I can't think but wanted to share this with you all! :D
