    Fray Check makes another product I think called Fray Stop that is supposed to be softer in use. I haven't personally used it but sounds like it could work.

    The picture of the piano is beautiful. I sure hope you can do something to fix it.

    I would definitely use a narrow satin stitch around the edges. I have made several crib quilts with machine applique and I used the satin stitch; 20 years and many washings later the applique is still in good shape.

    You might try "Aleene's "OK To Wash It".......it's a permanent fabric bond used for trims etc.
    It's not the one I was thinking of but it's what I found in my stuff. I'm reorganizing my sewing room and things scattered here and yon.
    When I bought my serger they said to use a product at the end of the seams as it seals off the threads from raveling and stays soft..........but I can't find it. If I do I will send you a pm.
