When I was sewing clothes growing up, my Mom taught me to sew every seam twice - at 5/8 and at 3/8 - and then trim with her pinking shears, which I still have. I still have clothes put together that way and have never had to repair any of my own seams.

This is the best timed video ever, I literally opened YouTube to search for this exact thing!!

Thank you so many options ! I haven’t been doing anything to prevent the fray and was getting nervous about it suddenly

[pjacksreads]

Great message. I’ve been thinking about investing in a serger but didn’t want to spend anymore money right now. Thanks for sharing this information.

I love pinking shears. I recommend buying a good quality pair. I love my Fiskars that I bought on sale at JoAnns fabrics. They have a lifetime guarantee. I like French seams on sheer easily fraying fabric. I pink the edges of my quilt fabrics before pre-washing it. No more rats nests of thread, no wasted fabric.

Hi. Thank you for demonstrating along w pros and cons.

Amazing. I didn't think I would learn much from this video. Once again, Angelina, you have surpassed my wildest expectations. I learned so much and I've been sewing for more than 50 years of sewing.

I use fray glue when I literally I know that it's gonna fraying (depending on the fabric ). Especially jean fabric. This is the channel I actually learned about fray glue..!! But this tutorial showed extra valuable & helpful tips..!! But sewing bias tape is hard I suck at sewing soooo close. Thanks alot..!!

[mtebraak]

Thanks for sharing ❣️
Ps. I liked ur hairstyle and ur beautifull fingernails 👌❤️💃

[AzureSkii.Kismet]

Thank you so much I will be doing the pinking shears and a zigzag stitch .... especially since it's denim, hmm I might try the French seam also

[maryellencudney]

The French Seam is so beautiful and easy. Thank you, Angelina, for your good, clear guidance.

This was so helpful; thank you!! I broke my serger when up-cycling some jeans and haven't sent it to get fixed for months. I felt super uninspired to sew because of not having a serger available. This has me wanting to sew again! :)

[msmercedescontreras]

My absolute favorite way to finish my garments is to use bias tape. And I make my own using the same fabric or a fun contrast. I still plan on saving up for a serger but till then this works!

[nopsketchbook]

I am saving every video for later reference. amazing.
