If you mean the edge of the Aida cloth or linen upon which you are cross stitching, then you can just machine sew a zig zag stitch around the very edge of the cloth. I find this helps keep the Aida cloth threads from continually falling out along the edges. Note: the zigzag stitch doesn't need to be tiny, probably a medium size.

How do you stop the edges of your knitting from rolling in?
You can either add a few rows of garter stitch (which is knit every row) or you can do a few rows of ribbing (which is knit 1, purl 1). One of my favorite boarders to put on sweaters or scarves is the seed stitch (knit 1, purl 1 to the end of the row and turn your work, then you purl the knit stitches and knit the purls and you just keep repeating that every time you turn your work)
