I like this brand best because when it dries the fabric is still flexible and relatively soft.

I don't know if this is necessary to use on the slipper satin, but I just figure better safe than sorry

I have never actually returned fabric to Fabric.com - but on 2 occasions I got something that was wrong - whether it was me or them I don't know. They actually just gave me credit and told me to keep the fabric or donate if I didn't want it. It wasn't a lot of yardage, but I was pleased with how they handled things.

Now that Amazon bought out Fabric.com things are changing though. No real complaints yet I am just keeping my eyes open when I shop

I ended up re-making it & just pinking the edges.

I use Fray Block a lot in applique and regular sewing. Never had a problem with discoloration. Just be sure and don't get Fray CHECK - it dries hard.

What about using grosgrain ribbon? Not satin like bu twould last a lot longer. Comes in various widths and is not very expensive. Diane C.
