It's a notion available at your local fabric store....a glue that stays
flexible and will withstand washing.

We were told in training to avoid satin stitches over 1/4" wide. Supposedly
there are two 'fills' that simulate satin stitching but stitch down in the
pattern but havent' had time to figure out which ones it is....on lettering
that we think might get loose (satin jackets, etc.) we go over the inside of
the embroidery with Fray check -trace the lettering right down the bobbin
thread from the back. That 'glues' the thread ends together without showing
on the front-and we haven't seen the thread coming loose yet. (a Limo
service showed us his jacket from another shop-wearing it while drivi ng had
pulled all the stitching on the back right off. So far, couple of months-the
one we did and 'sealed' hasn't pulled yet!)
Anything over 1/4" we do with a fill stitch anyways.
