I am making some hammocks for my local shelter and am quilting them. with thin batting and am using webbing in each corner. The webbing frays but won't be on the outside. Would I have to worry about it fraying on the inside because it certainly will be washed a lot. I do know about the lighter trick to stop fraying but I am a little nervous to try that and Fray Check has a little smell to it for a while.
I am thinking as long as the end is in the inside it would be ok? I hope.
Thanks so much.

Thank you all for your help. I actually just did what Our Workbench suggested and sewed several lines on the end of the webbing that will be enclosed. It is just a pattern I made up from looking at some hammocks that are put in cages. It is really for kittens, not so much for a very large cat.
Thanks to charlottequilts for the FraySoft that I will also check out.

You’re welcome, but it’s called Fray Block!!! By June Tailor.
I am so sorry about not looking at the tube first.![Frown](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/frown.png)
I just finished a scrap quilt where every other block was white, and the white frayed horribly. I used a lot of FrayBlock on the seam allowances, and I found that it helpfully had no odor when dry.
hugs, charlotte
