This works, I've been doing it for years. There's 2 ways to snip....
1. just cut diagonally across the corner, cutting about 1/2" of the corner off.
2. Cut into the corner on a 45º andgle, cut about 1/4-1/2"

This tangles all those threads together as they get loose so they can't unravel a few at a time.
Why doesn't this work for me? I have a handwash setting on the washer and everything. So far pinking or serging works the best for me. I did treat myself to a pinking rotory blade. That has made things so much easier.
