School glue to repair a teddy bear??

I do believe that you can find Fray Check at any place that sells quilting fabric and notions, including JoAnn's. The last time I bought some, it was in a squeeze bottle about three and a half inches high, just a little thing, but it does a lot and goes a looong way.

I agree with Purple Passion that her way would be one of the best ways of fixing your bear. If you don't want to go to that extreme, try outting a small piece of fabric behind the seam, maybe glueing it even, and sewing the seam edges to the fabric. You could give your bear a nice wide belt on top of the center seam, and sew it with the applique method of not having the stitching show. I think he'd look great with a nice fat belt.

I was doctor to a real old Teddy. I ended up making pattern pieces of the "injured parts" and sewing them over the bad parts like a second skin. You can probably find matching homespun cotton if that is the path you chose. Old Teddy is happy in a dorm room at UCD; Amazing how much sentiment our Teddies hold.
