T Shirt Embroidery Machine
How can I keep old embroidery from fraying?
I have some old t-shirts I bought while overseas that have a lot of sentimental value to me, but over time the embroidery on the front has begun to fray and even to come unravelled. It is simple threaded embroidery done by a machine, but I love the shirts and I would love to protect them.
Is there a way I can repair them, or at the very least keep the pattern from unravelling further? There was backing on them at some point, but it has long since washed away. And I always wash these shirts inside-out, and only as needed. But I still need a way to keep the embroidery from absolutely disintegrating, if possible! Please help!
Thanks in advance,
R
Try some iron on interfacing to replace the backing you said had washed/worn away. You can also try a product called Fray Not. I can usually find it at any fabric store. I use it on the edges of my daughter’s hair ribbons and it is wonderful about keeping the edges from fraying.
