If any one piece gets crazily long , just trim it back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fraying-on-raw-hem-jeans--help#post-1860552 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 12:56:41 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1860552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a sweatshirt with the same problem—washing machine really tore up what had been a pleasantly frayed bottom edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fraying-on-raw-hem-jeans--help#post-1860509 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 08:43:37 +0000 Gigi 1860509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I remember right, my friend who is a skilled seamstress says that the stray threads will eventually wrap around each other and stop fraying. I think she would agree with Angie that you don't need to do anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fraying-on-raw-hem-jeans--help#post-1860483 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 02:38:43 +0000 Anonymous 1860483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are worried, try the Fray Check, but you probably don't need to do anything. I have both purchased and DIY frayed jeans. You might also try washing them in a mesh bag if washing in the machine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fraying-on-raw-hem-jeans--help#post-1860356 Mon, 13 Nov 2017 18:09:23 +0000 Angie 1860356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No need. Just leave them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fraying-on-raw-hem-jeans--help#post-1860350 Mon, 13 Nov 2017 17:50:51 +0000 Anonymous 1860350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore jean cut offs for years when I lived in FL and they usually frayed through the first washes and then stopped once the horizontal to the leg opening thread was uniform. It helped to never pull the hanging threads and not to cut them too short either.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fraying-on-raw-hem-jeans--help#post-1860346 Mon, 13 Nov 2017 17:37:11 +0000 Gail 1860346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I️ think that a thin line of stay stitching should work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fraying-on-raw-hem-jeans--help#post-1860344 Mon, 13 Nov 2017 17:33:42 +0000 karen13 1860344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do I need to sew a line of stay stitching above the fringe of my DIY released hem jeans? I have washed them twice and don’t want more fraying.</p> <p>Does anyone with a pair either DIY or store-bought have info? If I do need to stitch, how far above the cut edge should I go? Or would a thin line of Fray Check do the trick </p>
