Glue Splodge

Post by bolshiegirl »

Help!!!!
I am halfway through a project on 28-count antique white evenweave and just dropped a small splodge of Fray-Stop on the fabric. Even though it dries clear, it will still show as a mark. Any suggestions for getting it out? Luckily, it's not in the middle of the design, so at a pinch, it might be just under the frame.
Any help desperately received!

That is so annoying, :x is it a place where it might cover it if you used say a cardboard oval aperture (soryy having a senior moment I can't think what they are called) before framing it :?: Can you stitch through it :?: would it be possible to add something to the project. :?: I guess the project might not lend itself to that.

I have no experience in this myself as I don't use fray check, but google turned up a few people suffering this problem.
The advice given was to try alcohol to removed the stain. A girl tried it and said "Soaking in alcohol worked. All the Fray Check came out. I then rinsed the blouse in water, dried it and ironed it and you can't see any stains".

One person said to rub on the alcohol with a qtip/ cotton bud.

I think myself I'd try it on a scrap piece rather than risk ruining your work, but at anyrate, I thought I'd pass on what I found.

I had the same problem with a card i made, dropped some super glue right on the stitching. Hopefully your fray check comes out better than the super glue.
