I run it through a sewing machine  with the zig zap stitch width and length set very high.

I use clear fingernail polish. I just take the fabric with the edge facing me and brush it on. It;s cheap too :)

I use bias and sew by hand. I works great and only takes a few minutes.
:loveliness:
Yo utilizo sesgo y lo coso a mano. Me funciona muy bien y solo tardo unos minutos.

I used to whipstitch the edges but I just bought Fraystop. Will try it for my next project.

If you want to use masking tape, you need to make sure that you leave enough of a border to be able to cut it off once you are done. If you don't remove it, your fabric will yellow over time

I use a low tack masking tape and i don't make the edge to wide just about a half inch.
