How do I fix a snag in my burlap curtains?

Question

I have a pair of burlap curtains that have a snag or loose thread. Any suggestions to keep it from getting worse. Clear polish? Hot glue??

DesertRose · Answer

I use a needle threader to pull the snag through to the underside so it doesn't show. They will not get worse if there is nothing snagging them like a fur baby or two in the house etc.

Smooth the fabric in both directions AWAY from the snag, cut away any remaining loose thread and seal the cut ends with a few drops of Fray Check.

Both suggestions above are good, for snags I tend to straighten the fabric and pull the snag through to the unseen side. Since curtains are a low stress piece, either method would work.

Since burlap has more of an open weave, you could use a crochet hook to pull it through, or tweezers, or maybe just your fingers.
