What do you think quilting friends??
I think so, too. If you have a straight stretch stitch (one that goes 2 st forward and 1 st back) this would be a stronger seam on the denim and fraying would stop at a very hard sewn edge. I use it when I sew denim squares together.
Oh yes! good to know... I hadn't thought of that! Thank you!!
