How to cut burlap so it won't unravel


I purchased this burlap from Joann with a 50% coupon for around $2 a yard which is plenty for me to work with. While I was in store the customer service rep asked me if I ever worked with burlap before. Shame of me I gently reply "no". She went on explaining to me the problem you can get with cutting burlap and told me burlap can easily unravels if it isn't cut the right way. So she taught me the best way to cut burlap to avoid the problem and get straight line.
 
Pick a desire length and that will be your thread line that you want to be your edge:

With a safety pin pull on that thread until you have pulled it all the way out 

You may need to do a few times to get the thread all the way out 

And you have a long strip where thread once was so now you can cut along that line

so I have learned something new today. I guess the world of crafting is an ongoing learning :)
Happy crafting
