Whether you sew or don't sew, there ...Hi Lola,<br /><br />Whether you sew or don't sew, there will be a little bit of fraying around the edges. How much fraying depends on the quality of fabric you use. If you use a tightly weaved fabric, there's less chance of fraying.<br /><br />If you wash the appliqued item, it will fray even more.<br /><br />Another factor which will affect the fraying is the kind of fusible web you use. Some are better, some are worse. If I were to do a wall display without sewing, I would use Heat n Bond Ultrahold. You can't sew thru' ultrahold tho'. Try different brands and see what works best for the fabric you have in mind.<br /><br />Lastly, fusible web doesn't keep. Either the glue drops off or the glue doesn't work so well. Try to buy small amount.<br /><br />Hope this is helpful to you.Projects By Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707620997323055845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193403358365368030.post-36388637953566855622014-06-15T12:03:45.034+08:002014-06-15T12:03:45.034+08:00Hi I was wondering if u don't sew the appliqué...Hi I was wondering if u don't sew the appliqué .. Would the fabric still fray with the fusible web?
