I've used it many times. Just use a tiny bit, and it should dry invisible.

I usually dab fray check on with a q tip if I need to be careful and don't want a big glob to come out.

I also use fray block instead of fray check. I used fray check for many years on soft dolls, bought fray block beacuse store was out of fray check & fell in love with it. Fray block doesn't leave a wet look after it dries which is very important when working with doll face knit & hand embroidering faces on dolls.

There is also a product called fray block, which I use, I like it better because you really can not see or feel it, and the nozzle is smaller so it is easier to get it exactly where you want it

Fray check or any other liquid plastic such as fray block can be removed with rubbing alcohol or surgical spirits as it is called here in the UK. Obviously try to catch it before it dries but if it is dry it sometimes can still be removed if the alcohol is left on for some time.

I do quite a bit of applique. Took a class from Kim Diehl several years ago and she taught us to run a line of fray check around the edges of each block BEFORE we applique....sure helps...no raveling. I don't find that it's stiff, besides, it's all in the seams. Works for me:)

I use it to seal the knots on tied quilts--they NEVER come loose!I got sick of re-tying quilts that came loose, or kids picked loose!

It's permanent. I use it to secure my threads after quilting.

Oh! You poor thing!

That's a good idea!
