Prewashing Fabric- What to do with edges?

I have zig zagged the edges. I recently started washing fabrics on the handwash cycle, and dry them on the sweater rack that fits in my dryer. (attachment that came with it.) I had very little raveling.

I soak to test color fastness and usually use a stabilers in a pot of 140 water first. I change water till water is clear then dry on line and that is when fraying happens for me.
I got a ripply, zig zag blade for rotary cutter and that works great but I always cut edges.
If you don't wash, when done, I would recommend a product to remove excess dye in washing machine.
