Its not unusual to get the odd thread hanging out along the edge of the material, a quick flick with a cigarette lighter will melt it off in a second.

Look closely at the fabric around the base of the Bowrail. Had to repair a few that wore through the tube. Poor design and now well supported underneathe.
