Prism that is a great idea!

AliKat, you hit the nail on the head about NON-LATEX GLOVES, I'll take the fumes over the latex reaction anyday! Latex allergy is terrible. I can't even eat a Banana (natures latex) without my lips getting so chapped they bleed.

If you don't have a serger see if you could borrow one or rent one and this would be your answer. I serge the raw edges before I was and no threads. Hope you can find the answer.
|
so sorry you have this problem. I fold my raw edges in, safety pin, and wash. on gentle. then dry in the dryer.
|
What about getting a hand lotion called silicone gloves to put on your hands while handling the fabric?
|
I only use the tube method for small pieces or ravelly fabrics. For the rest of my fabrics, I use the soak cycle on my machine. Just fill, let the fabric sit and soak for a while, then go the the gentle spin cycle. Hang drying does reduce the tangles.
|
The dryer is the worst culprit for creating the string tangles. If you could air dry your fabric that would help. I have a drying rack in my laundry room so that helps.I know it's a big job but once it's done it's done. Baby steps!
