You can put a small roll hem on the edges of each side of the fabric, doing a straight stitch down the edge closest to the loose fold and it will secure it. I have table napkins I made this way 20 years ago and they have outlasted every other napkin I've ever purchased. I still have and use the ones I originally made. Looks very finished too. -

Sew a flat seam. With right sides together, and one seam allowance 1/2 inch, the other 3/4 inch sew seam. Press to side, so larger allowance is on top. Press under 1/4 inch, and sew along the edge. This seam shows a double line on right side, so keep sewing lines even! Looks good.

Use 2 straight seams together (about 1/8" apart) to stop fraying seams. This is for the person that does not have a serger, or the pinking shears are not working. You may do this with the seams sewed together, or on each one alone.

Try a French seam. Sew the two pieces of fabric together with the wrong sides together. Sew this seam 1/4 inch from the edge. Turn the pieces to the other side so that they now have the right sides together, and make a 1/2 inch seam. When you open the fabric, the original seam will be encased in the second seam. Fabulous!
