tape that stops fraying....what's it called?

I have NO idea whether this will help, but I Googled "Carbon Fibre", and one of the hits is:

Also, this one:

Other than those, test with some duct-tape? ;->

Good luck,

Could you, maybe, brush the edges lightly with clear nail varnish? I've done that with troublesome muslin when I had nothing better to fix the problem!

There's some spray-on type of no-fray. Can not think of the name of it but it's out there. Jo-Ann's etc should carry it.

How funny! I suggested duct tape kind of as a joke, since it works for so many other applications. Glad it worked for you. ;-)

Paper masking tape. 3/4" is trivial to find, but if you go to a graphic artists' shop, not a painter and decorators', then you can find it in narrow widths.

I don't like duct tape in the sewing room. The adhesive on that is very rubbery and it tends to collect in awkward places, like around sewing needles. Be careful if you're sewing near or through it.

If you're going to make a habit of this for sewing, then go back to the graphic arts place and look at "frisket" paper for airbrush masking. This has a very light glue on it - you can print a pattern onto it with a computer printer, then sew right through it and tear it away afterwards - all without gummed needles. They even sell sprays to put this sort of adhesive on the back of your own paper.

Try your local car repair workshop for narrow tape used for spray painting details on cars - comes in a wide variety of widths. Tends to be a cheaper source that "special" artist or craft supplies.
