I don't know about Regency, but in many periods, gum arabic was used as a
"fray preventive liquid," like Fray-Check. You can get it at art stores that
sell painting supplies.

I'm making a couple of Regency bonnets, with satin ribbons as ties.
How do you finish off the end of the ribbon? Hem it? Cut it, and if so,
how? Such a minor detail, but I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Julie
