Fray Check vs. the washing machine

August 26, by Anne Weaver. 3 Comments

Have you ever wondered whether Fray Check really works?  Shannon from Shannon Sorenson Designs did, and so she created a little experiment.  She put some ruffled cotton fabric through the wash, some treated with Fray Check and others pinked, ripped, or left raw.  She shares the results of her experiment on her blog, Shannon Sews.  Go to her post to see how Fray Check stood up to her test.
