Since the fusible I/F was too stiff & gluey, can you whip stiitch a
organza protective layer over the interior to protect it?  I've just
done this for a brocade with long throws on the back.  The silk
organza basted over the long throws prevents snags & pulls.  It's
working just great.

Do you mean where you cut the fabric it's fraying? Dupioni does that.


In actual period gowns, the bodice (at least) is usually flat lined in glazed 
cotton. The seams are bound in seam binding. Often in a contrasting color.
Curved seams are not just clipped to lay flat, they are scalloped (the clipped 
sections are rounded off) which makes it easier to bind.

Hi Aylwen,
Is the embroidery separating from the fabric? Can you catch the threads on
the underside with a catch stitch and sew them in a bunch to each motif?
Then flat line the fabric in a really lightweight fabric. I could be more
helpful if I saw a picture. Can you send it privately?

Best Regards,
Monica

Would fray check work?  How big are the motifs?

If fray check doesn't work, drop a dot of glue right on the back of the 
embroidery to hold it. When it dries, it shouldn't have more problems.

I've tried that but it bubbled - because the thickness of the threads under
the embroidered flowers prevents it from sticking at that point.

Looks gorgeous on the outside but the
mbroidery is shedding like mad on the underside.

Could you back it with a lightweight fusible?
