I agree...another thing I do constantly is starch lightly...helps with the fraying and turning under...on inside dips the one trick I found is to take a very tiny stitch into the top fabric, (not the base fabric) it seems to "roll" the fabric over and then I take the next stitch right at that point. nice flat valley.
