Its good if you can overlocking the hems for free. If not, I usually work on smaller pieces as it is (meaning 80 grids and less). On bigger pieces, I usually use masking tape on the edges like Jack does, and cut off the masking tape together with the 2-3 cm of cloth. I did zig zag once, but now I find masking tape more convenient.

interesante fraystop, no lo conocia.
Yo tengo varios metodos dependiendo de para que lo necesite uso uno u otros.
Tijeras dentadas como habeis descrito anteriormente.
Dobladillo habitual.
Uso de cinta de carrocero.
Y veo interesante el uso de la maquina de coser. Cualquiera de estos y otros es interesante siempre acordarnos dejar margen suficiente de seguridad debido a que en ocasiones la inexperiencia hace que no dejemos margen.
Whenever I am using my sewing machine for something else, I grab any new fabric I have gotten since the last time and sew a large zig zag around all 4 edges, using up the extra thread that is in the bobbin from my sewing project. That way, when I want to start a new cross stitch project the fabric is already ready for me. If I have to cut the fabric, then I just have 1 edge to sew, though I end up sewing it on both the cut pieces so that they are both ready to go. It takes less than 5 minutes to do this way. Just position your fabric so that one side of the zigzag is atthe edge of the fabric, and goooooooo. As long as you use a big enough stitch, it lays flat and isnt even noticble the way tape is. And no need to buy anything new like pinking shears or fray check, if you already have a sewing machine.
