Fray check is something I don't use. It dries too hard and glossy clear.

Why didn't I think of that?

You are welcome.

I think I have also put a piece of paper between the seam allowance and the main fabric when pressing to minimize the imprint of the seam allowance on the main fabric.

I also liked Fray Block better because it dried "softer". Don't know what I'll use to replace it.
