I have been working on a quilt , that has lots of strings from fraying, It is to much to sit with that little bottle of stop fray. I wondered if they have a spray that I can use on the back of this? Or is there something else I can use?

I always fold my quilt tops wrong sides together when setting them aside to work on later. This reduces the inevitable loose threads. Doesn't eliminate them, only cuts down on the contact with hands (and paws) that may loosen those edges.

If I notice my fabric is fraying after I piece it I then do another stitch close to the edge to stop the fraying. I also stitch my quilt top once completed all around the edge prior to putting my batting and backing on. Once I finish FMQ'ing I go around the edge again before putting on my binding. I also find cheaper fabrics do fray more than LQS fabric.
