Okay i know there's 100000000 threads about patches so how does one more hurt?

I like to use denim for my patches but they keep fraying and falling off. Is there anyway I can stop them fom over fraying? I was thinking of running a some super glue around the the stitch job but I'm not sure if that would work or not. Any advice?

Denim patches? never seen those done before
and yeah superglue should fix that probably
you might also want to try folding the sides of the patches so the frays arentexposed
but depending on if you're using a sewing machine or not it might jam it

Sew your stitches closer together and it shouldn't fray too bad!

I got some super glue today. It seems to be holding pretty well... i'm just not to sure it'll hold up through the wash...

I use fray check which you can get at any fabric store. It holds up pretty well through the wash. I don't know about super glue.
