Nylon tends to fray when cut to size for your project. Keep the fabric tight by pulling the fabric on both sides of the needle instead of trying to pull the fabric through. Never pin ripstop nylon. Consider using double sided tape versus straight pins to keep your fabric from slipping as you sew or a glue stick. Don’t be afraid to burn your edges or seams for a sturdy seal. Always exercise extreme caution when attempting this technique. Practice your stitch! Zigzag stitches help keep your seams from breaking when a stretch to the fabric occurs.
