Are the edges sealed in any manner? Wondering if it would fray if made into bows. Thanks!

Do not buy... Frayed beyond belief... It's basically the end cut off a massive roll of burlap. I spend hours pulling and trimming strings to make the edges semi even

Yes, I imagine you could cut it, but you'd lose the binding at the edge you cut. It looks very nice and finished the way it comes, and I'm not sure if it would fray without that. I wonder if it might work to fold that last 10 feet back underneath the end instead?

We cut ours and didn't have any issues with fraying. We cut them with blade.

I had no problems with fraying when I trimmed mine. I hung it inside our skylights- if they are outside, the wind may produce more wear.

Not really unless you can seal the edges somehow. As soon as you cut it the fiberglass threads start unraveling. Just to let you know any type of flame will burn a hole right through this.

HiI haven't put bows in it, but it seems they would get crushed unless you make sure to put nothing else on top of the bag.

The bow is sewed on in one place. It looks like it can be clipped off though.

We have use this 3 times and no issue with fraying . Also is holding up very well with lots of use.

My best guess is no. It IS fabric, which means it will fray at the edge unless it can be sewn back, either by hand or machine. I used a shower curtain liner as a water proof liner on a dog bed, but I did not cut it, I simply made a pocket and sewed on buttons.

Its not intended to ever be replaced, but I was able to with some craftyness. Look in the 1-star reviews for the pics I uploaded doing this. (1star because of this issue exactly, otherwise very nice bow).

The purchase was for a Katniss costume, so we really weren't concerned about using the bow. It is a sturdy product and is the real thing. The bullseye and quill holder are made of plastic. We got a different holder from another company. The bows are made of a low quality wood, we never used them. Hope this helps! It's probably best for 12 and under.

No, the bows themselves are pretty sturdy. The real issue is getting them to stay on your finger. But I only use nail polish to make them stick, using nail glue would probably keep them on well. They are very sturdy though, I've even reised them many times.

It shouldn't. I got this for my teenage daughter for xmas and a starter bow since she wanted to learn. It's very thick and seems like it will last. It's not solid foam so it seems to reform when you pull the arrows out. Hope this helps.

Mine came with glue but it was basically crazy glue -which burned my finger the second it touched it my nail and finger!- There was no other way to make the bows stay attached so I threw the glue away and still haven't been able to use the bows because of how bulky they are.

The hems stitch in this case is usually used to keep edges from unraveling before applying a decorative edging. I personally have not tried this. Since you can use the edgit through several layers at a time, I personally fold down the raw edges, pierce through the double layer and proceed. This eliminates the hemstitch step, & you still have an edge that is neat & will not unravel! The same goes for your pillow edging. Since you already have a neatly folded edge, just pierce and have at it! Run Brenda Run! Lol! ;-)

I wondered the same thing because the one we bought also had the unfinished edges and looked like it had just been cut with scissors. I checked with a couple other people I knew that had them and theirs also had unfinished edges. The official Buff website says their headwear is made without seams or hems and that after a few washings the edge will naturally seal themselves.

It should not be a problem. The outside edge's are only a guide to center the bow on the center section and do not roll.
