What could I use to iron on the back of a design to keep the threads from unraveling? Thanks

You can get a very fine, almost nylon iron-on fabric which will do the trick. You can also use 'Fraycheck'. *4U

Thanks
Is it in the interfacing or fabric section?

There is a fusible mesh like material that is actually meant for it. I have included a link so you can see it, you can also get the floriany no-show mesh.

Cover a stitch is great. I use it a lot.

Wow, that is cheap also...but $18.40 for shipping to Canada for 2 narrow rolls?!?! I bookmarked the site for later date. Thank you. *4U ><>

You can also use a fusible tricot available at JoAnn's. Something called Fuse-a-Knit is the same type thing. Fray check gets real scratchy when it dries.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I can get what I need from Joann's now.
