A simple machine zigzag stitch on the edge of the fabric also works well on cotton. Try a zig-zag of width 3 and length 3 and see how that looks and whether the fraying is stopped. A three-step zig-zag is also a good stitch to stop fraying and can make the edges sit flatter. I wouldn’t advise using these techniques for clothing or garment making as the edge will come into too much friction and will probably still fray. Then there are the stronger but loose weave fabrics that also have a tendency to fray due to the texture of the fabric. Burlap, canvas, and some linens fall into this category. You may need to cut a fresh end on your thread if it is a bit worn and floppy, as a soft piece of thread is difficult to work with. I don’t have any felt so I am trying a double layer of white fleece. I think it will work. I am making Digger the Dachhound for my sister-in-law who had to put her dog down. I am making it in a reddish brown mottled cotton. It looks really good so far. Reply

That way, you can control the amount of fraying. 6. Blanket Stitch (Handstitch) The best options are when using difficult fabrics, homeware projects or small areas. How To Stop Fabric From Fraying Use a seam-ripper to make a very small hole. Work it slowly until it is JUST big enough for the shank of the Craft eye to squeeze through.
