Dritz Fray Check is a clear liquid seam sealant in a 0.75 oz squeeze bottle with a fabric guide applicator tip. You squeeze a small amount onto cut edges of fabric, ribbon or trim and it dries in 15 to 30 minutes, locking fibers and thread ends so edges stop raveling. It is machine washable and dry cleanable, and it dries clear on most fabrics. It suits sewists, quilters, embroiderers and anyone finishing raw edges without a serger. Rivals like June Tailor Fray Block come in similar bottles; Fray Check is the best-known of the group and is praised for holding up in the wash, though users warn it can stiffen and darken some fabrics and smells of alcohol.

Owners rate it highly and treat it as a sewing-box staple. They like that a tiny amount stops fraying and survives washing, and many use it on ribbon, buttonholes and serged seams. Complaints center on stiffness, occasional darkening on delicate fabrics and the alcohol odor.
Dritz Fray Check is a clear liquid seam sealant. It keeps fabric, ribbon and trim edges from fraying and secures thread ends on stitchery or embroidery projects. It gives projects a more professional finish.
The bottle has a fabric guide applicator tip. To use it, unscrew the blue cap and puncture the tip with a fine pin. Gently squeeze the bottle and apply a very small amount. Let it dry for 15 to 30 minutes, and keep the cap on when not in use.
Fray Check will not discolor or stain most fabrics, but test it on an inconspicuous seam first. Place a piece of cardboard between the treated area and other fabric layers. Unwanted spots can be removed with rubbing alcohol, after testing in an inconspicuous area for color change or ring formation. It is flammable and contains normal propanol alcohol, so keep it away from heat and flame, avoid contact with eyes and keep it out of reach of children.
