This is what I do. It doesn't prevent the mess but it isn't as bad. I buy my material from the LQS and was surprised at how bad it gets. I tried the clipping the corners suggestion - doesn't work - the pinking shears seem to do the best job for me. Don't have a serger and guess I don't want to spend the time sewing the edges.
