Frayed seams question
How important is it to cut off frayed seam threads before layering and quilting! I seem to get frustrated trying to "clean up" my seams because no matter how careful I am the more I trim threads the more fraying I create. I've tried trimming each seam as I go, but by the time the quilt top is done more fraying occurs. I do use high quality quilt fabrics. I do trim the machine threads at the end of each seam and the longer frayed threads but is it ok to leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch threads? Is there anything I can do to prevent the fraying? I've thought about Fray Check but is it necessary?
