I have been using a worker pair of gold rush on a bangle decoration for our
tree, at the end I have tied it off, then created a long loop with the
thread to hang onto the branch, ending with a knot and then knotted it again
over the top. It looks tidy enough, but I am wondering if I ought to
The threads of this type that do fray don't normally fray beyond a knot
- so if you have knotted the ends together, (and by the sounds of things
you have done that twice!) you can trim the ends reasonably short as

Just a warning about glue. If you decide to use glue please check that it will
not affect your thread by trying a blob on some of the thread and leaving it

You could use fray check which is used frequently in sewing and

Guys,
Does anyone know of a supplier of Moravia in the UK. I'm after some
patterns (the butterflies and pendants along with the fixings) as well as the

Guttermans fabric glue is available from Hobbycraft in the UK, at the
