Ah, my old friend Fraycheck (aka ‘Rafelstop’) - you save my sewing bacon again when I get a bit wayward with the rotary cutter! 😬
@bsag interesting. It stops unravelling? Is ravelling one of those words like cleave that can mean its opposite too?
@jeremycherfas Yes - it’s a kind of liquid glue that prevents cut edges of fabric from fraying and is often used after making buttonholes. Interestingly I’ve noticed that US sewists use the term ‘ravel’ where we would say ‘unravel’ in the UK.
@jeremycherfas I get what you mean, but in this case the word doesn’t have two opposite meanings in the same language (if we take US and UK English to be two separate languages 😉).
