I love raw edges, raggy jeans, unfinished hems. Much to other family members despair. So a chenille sample is right up my street.
Layers of four to six fabrics are machine stitched together. Choose fabrics which will fray well, in this sample, I used my rusted cotton, for the top and bottom layers. Then for the middle layers, I used white brushed cotton.
Ensure the bottom layer is not affected, cut between the stitching along the length of the top fabrics. Do not cut the very bottom layer or the whole thing will just fall apart.
Use embroidery scissors as they are easier to get into the small area between the stitches, but you can also buy a chenille cutter, it is super quick and just wooshes along the fabric without the fear of cutting through something you shouldn't be.
