I've just acquired (via eBay) a lovely piece of silk duponi to use in making sachets, and I've never worked with this fabric in the past. It frays like mad. I've considered using Fray Check, yet I'm put off by product reviews which suggest that it deposits a plastic film on the fabric ends.
I'd like to know if it would be best to use pinking shears to cut out the small pieces of fabric, and if so, would I need to widen the cutting area by a given amount to ensure the cut pieces aren't rendered smaller than my pattern? On the other hand, is Fray Check the better choice?
TIA, Betty in Georgia
