What to do with fabric that frays
#35
I was going to suggest this and saw that someone else mentioned it. But I would definately do it this way. Once it is fused it will stay and not fray anymore. There are several very soft fusibles on the market so it will remain compatible with the other fabrics in the quilt.

Today, I ironed the light weight interfacing onto the fabric pieces and it worked like a charm. I wish I had known about this before I had cut the strips. But I'll know next time. I'm grateful to all of you for taking the time to offer your good suggestions.

Jean you can get a rotory cutter that cuts like pinking shears, great when you wash your fabrics too first just "rotory pink" the raw edges and your fabric doesn't fray in the wash, well worth the investment, I use mine all the time.

If it's a fabric that frays/ravels very easily - pinking the edges doesn't help much. (IMO)
