Question Cutting textile fabric prints and prevent fraying

[Gnome Beard]

Whats the best option to cut fabric without fraying the edges? What type of sewing machine is best to use for seaming the edges?

I print using the HP Latex 360

Depends on the fabric but Laser Cutter is probably the best option for textile.
For a flatbed cutter a Rotary knife etc. is okay.

If you are doing it by hand maybe something like this:

We used to print and cut PhotoTex and it was a pain with our Roland. We learned that sharp corners were the biggest problem. Once we learned to fillet (Corel) or round all the inside and outside corners, it greatly improved the process even though it never works perfectly.

Also, try different angled blades and changing the cut speed as well. The faster the cut speed the more pressure required. I am guessing that 60 deg blades will work better but they also will dull quickly so you might order several.
