Ditto, I use a small brush that I got from the craft store and prior to
picking up the ribbon I wet the brush and slip it under my ribbon end
closest to the blade and presto no flyaways.

When I was doing histology, I would use a flexible end of a brush to
roll the ribbon end closest to the blade and that would secure it
beautifully and no fly aways.
