I used to use masking tape but now I trim the edges with pinking shears and then use fray stop - it looks as though it might stain the fabric or make it stiff when you apply it but it does neither.

I tape the edging with painters tape. I hope this isnt bad as Im still fairly new to this whole business.... hahaha Guess I"ll find out when my first project is finished and I"m dealing with the edges.

Im using masking tape for the first time and will see how that works out. Ive used fray check before and have found that stops working after a while.

My sewing machine is always out, so I use a large zig-zag stitch for the edges.

I have always taped my edges with a paper type tape. It usually comes right off or either I dont handle it much until its framed. I never sew my ends.

I zigzag the edges - even including the time to take the machine out, plug it in, and sew the edges, it takes about 5 minutes total, it is really fast to do!

I have my fabric serged when I buy it and if I order from someplace that doesnt serge the edges, I do it myself or use a zig-zag stitch on the sewing machine.

Before it broke I used my overlocker (serger for US people)... now? If my aida isnt painted, (which is fray resistant in itself)I zigzag the edge on my sewing machine. Twice if its linen or evenweave.

I zigzag the edges and then straight stitch over the zigzag, (with my machine)
