Art Gallery Pure Solids
 

How much do the Art Gallery solids fray compared to Kona or Moda Bella solids?

I have never had any issues with AGF solids or any of their fabrics, beautiful fabrics to work with.

Much less fraying than Kona or Bella. I rarely have to cut any threads off of Art Gallery fabrics after pre-washing. I think they must have a higher thread count and finer threads, judging by the unique feel of the fabric.

That’s what I thought I had heard before. Fat Quarter Shop has them as their Basic of the Month so I figure it’s a good time to try buy some.

A few years ago, after being thoroughly disgusted with the Kona, I did a completely non-scientific study of fraying in several brands of solids.

Kona came in dead last - I wouldn't use it unless I had no other choice.

Art Gallery was absolutely the best. Frayed the least and feels soooo good. It's very smooth and almost feels crisp. I highly recommend it.

thanks for this info. Very helpful

Art Gallery fabrics are fantastic. I love using them, both prints and solids.

Me too! They have such a fine hand. One of my ongoing projects is collecting a yard of each colour for my solids shelf...

For future reference, I've just washed several pieces of Century Solids, and didn't have a single frayed thread to snip off, whereas the regular prints in with the solid had tangled fraying in the usual way. I think this is the first time I've used the Century Solids (I think these are from Andover, made to go with their reproduction fabrics).

that’s good to know!
