Question
Which is better? Using fraying glue to glue edges or stitching edges by sewing machine?
Hi there,
I hope I am able to help you. I prefer to stitch the edges of a large piece. The fray chek is good in a pinch, but it makes the edges hard. So I prefer to stitch the edges. But it is really a metter of preference.
I wish I could be of more help!
Happy Stitching!
Kris
