[@patriciapotter9841]

How do you keep your mesh from fraying? Beautiful work and beautiful colors.

[@kathyallenRWD233]

First, thanks for watching my video. Mesh will always end up fraying, so you can use a wood burner to cut your mesh. I used a12 Inch Impulse Bag Sealer at the time I made this cross, but I find the wood burner easier. Another thing about the fraying is the less you handle the mesh after assembly the less fraying you get. Y hope this helps you.

How do you cut the mesh not to fray

[@kathyallenRWD233]

I use a wood burner tool now. I did use a heat sealer, but find the wood burner better. Now when using deco mesh, it will fray no matter what you do, so the less you handle it the less it will fray plus using the wood burner will make it fray less. I hope this helps.
