Edges of work.

What do you do to the edges of your work before you start? I find that just a fine line of clear nail polish helps. Others stitch or overlock their work.

Ja obszywam brzegi kanwy sciegiem zwanym pieluszkowym lub poscielowym ,niektórz obklejają tasma malarską przy dużych projekatach

I use fray check. Its a liquid and very easy to use. Its a great thing to have on hand for other things like mending too.

Sometimes I just machine stitch the edges, but the little pieces I just leave as is.I never thought of fray check.Great tip.:D

The larger pieces of linen are serged when I buy them. If I need a smaller piece I run into problems because I dont have a serger. Ive tried to hand stitch the edges but found that the five theads or so deep that I whip the edge will all separate from the rest as a single unit. So, it doesnt work for me, I think I lose less theads off the sides if I dont whip the edges at all.

I have not stitched on Linen and always use Aida, but I will keep this in mind.

First I use adhesive paper, but this damages the fabric. Now I overlap it.
