Fray Check?
Aug. 16th, 2008 05:03 pmThe scenario:
I removed the large scary cuffs and collar from an old button down I have and screen printed it. I was able to sew the collar bits back together by hand to make a mandarin style collar, but the cuffs aren't being so easy on me. I don't machine sew, and the old cuffs are long gone.
The question:
Can I just trim any threads and put Fray Check or Fray Stop on the edges all the way around the cuff and leave it at that? Would it be stiff or sticky? Any other ideas?
The pictures:
I don't have any pics of the shirt in question, so here are some other items I've screen printed lately...
Thanks.
