Had a splurge and bought a brother overlocker, my pattern cutting is not great so wanted one to overlock the fabric edges of my pattern pieces (and must say it has improved my dressmaking no end). I make bags out of old jeans and line them with fairly cheap synthetic lining, usually I fold over the hems of the lining and stitch them, am wondering if I can get away with just overlocking them, or will this make them fray? Sorry to ask such a daft question but I'm newish to overlockers and used to seaming with a bog standard machine, any help would be appreciated. Kit.
