Won't stop it completely, but will help. The heavier the starch, the better. I use a 1:1 solution of Sta-Flo and water to saturate the fabric, toss fabric in dryer, then iron with steam -- all before I cut the strips. Of course, this assumes I realize the fabric ravels easily before I cut. After cutting it's much harder to starch sufficiently, but heavy spray starching will still help a little.
