I always put the ends into seams.

Subject: [h-cost] a question about passementerie
Hello the list!
I recently finished a garment which can best be described as the bastard
offspring of a giermak and a kontusz (15th-16th c. Polish). I think it is
nifty and I want to make more. And I like the look of metallic braid, so
I would like to continue to use it for the decoration on the front, but
inevitably the sort of braid I find wants to come apart on me.
My question is, what should I do, in future, to finish the ends of the
braid so that they do not unravel? This first construction used Elmer's
glue (it was what was to hand) and that is obviously the wrong answer if
one ever plans on washing the garment.
Many thanks,
Jen
