Why it's a good idea to listen to instructions

I have read a lot about how you should bind the edge of your fabric, either with tape or overcast stitches. I thought I'd share a pic as to why that is a good idea. See all those loose threads? Yep that is annoying to work with and that'll teach me to not follow instructions. No matter the size of the project you should prep your fabric, lesson learned. Hope this helps anyone else out there who, like me, thought oh it's a small piece who needs to do that...
