If you don't mind, can I ask a material question? Is my twill fraying so much because it's threads are thicker or because the weave and weft threads are an uneven ratio? None of the cotton I use ever frays this much, but I don't know if that has to do with thread size or because that fabric tends to have an even weave and weft ratio.

I do know that the embroidery is a bit more difficult because the uneven thread ratio makes it impossible for me to count threads, but a) I'm kind of just freestyling and b) my ehes aren't what they used to be so I don't even know if I'd want to go back to counting threads.
