Default I have a couple of questions about needle turn applique

Question #1- I'm still having trouble with stitching down inside turns. I stitch up to the point where the direction changes, snip to that point and then take a couple of stitches right in that point. But the 2 little stitches show up and I'm not sure those stitches will keep it from fraying right there.

Question #2- I have some skinny points, like at the end of the leaf or tail on the giraffe I'm doing. How do you get that point to fold in neatly without a bump or bulge?

Okay, I'm struggling to have my applique look super smooth at these two points, the in-ies and the out-ies. I do take tiny stitches, match the thread so it doesn't show, etc. And I'm getting better, really I am. But these 2 spots need some work. Can anyone give me suggestions about how you get yours so perfect looking?
