i'm new to sewing, just finished a couple silnylon stuff sacks. i've noticed that silnylon doesn't really fray. i was wondering if over time it will and if i should use a different stitch other than a straight stitch. i have some plans for a frameless pack and i want to do it right the first time so it doesn't fall apart. i had cut up an old walmart tent to make one out of just to test with, then i'll use silnylon for the real one.

If you fold the edges over, and throw a straight stich down it, it should take care of that for you.

thanks. i'll give it a try
