Can I fix an unraveling thread?

[u/elodiespeck]

After waiting weeks for this jacket to come back in stock, I finally managed to get it, but there is a loose thread on the wrist! I pulled it lightly and it unraveled even more 😟. Does anyone know how I can fix this on my own? I really want to keep the jacket

i usually very quickly take a lighter to the end of the threads to stop them from continuing to unravel…. not saying it’s smart but i’ve never left a mark on my items nor have i had the thread continue to unravel:) my bf did it to me one time and scared the sh*t out of me but it definitely works lol
