Help with Fabric Fraying?
I'm making pillowcases for Christmas gifts out of Kaufman "Old Guy's Rule" really a fun fabric line. It is a challenge because it is fraying with even minimal handling, like from the cutting table to the sewing machine. I don't pre-wash my fabrics. Making the French seams is where those pesky tails have caused the most consternation.
Why do some of the fabrics fray especially from respected fabric companies? I love Kaufman and Moda but have had this issue from time-to-time from respected 'brand named' fabrics?
Would using a rotary 'pinking' blade change the cutting? I've been considering purchasing the pinking blade. Is fray check recommended for this? I would appreciate any suggestions. Especially since I'm invested in this line for 10 'Old' ;o) guys pillowcases within our family and friends.
