I am just not happy with the hand stitching job I am doing to close throw pillows. I am starting at my big tub of glue and thinking it would make a really nice seam.

What are youe guys doing to close? Stitches, glue, tape? These are throw pillows going on Vintage Upholstered Furniture.

Personally, I close everything with the invisible stitch. Sorry about the funky music.... https://youtu.be/WbE5hXt27uU

@kl4bidn

Thank you for the link to the invisable stitch

Very good video guys if you need to learn this, worth the time to watch. @kl4bidn I am doing some vintage tub chairs and the throw cushions were just the beginning of working with the fabric. I don't like how fabric frays so much

Witch type of fabric are you using that is fraying so much?

@John
I cant load a picture but it is a silky threaded type fabric. I notice the pattern on top pulls off the fabric so it seems like it is two fabrics.

I would try Pinking Shears. These are supposed to help stop the unraveling of woven fabric

Or a hot knife. I love hot knifes for woven materials like sunbrella. They work like a dream by melting the edge while cutting it
