Occassionally the back of my pants get frayed and I would like a little more life out of them.

Step 1: Open seam

Open the seam and iron flat.

This is great. Does anyone know if fray-checking the edge after hemming the first time works?

If your pants are frayed, speak softly to them till they calm down. :)

Very good idea - I've always just gotten grumpy and cut off the torn bit. This looks so much better!
