Opinions and preferences stated here are entirely my own.
Many of the techniques shown here are also my own.
Some suggestions to consider:
Use a hook 1 or 2 sizes larger than you would for crochet.
Pull up the loops a little higher than you would for regular crochet.
Tunisian crochet tends to tighten the fabric -especially at the end of a row.
Make the last loop of the starting chain slightly longer than normal
-this will reduce [but not eliminate] the amount of curl.
Another way to reduce the amount of curl is to work the second row in alternating Simple Stitch (TSS)and Purl Stitch (TPS).
The last row of the work is a "bind off" row that puts a finished edge to the fabric.
