ANY IDEAS AND/OR TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP THE AFGHAN STITCH FROM ROLLING? I LOVE DOING THIS STICH FOR GRAPHED PATTERNS BUT FIND IT FRUSTRATING TRYING TO STEAM OUT THE ROLLS.

Nothing you can do will keep the afghan stitch from rolling. It is the nature of the stitch. You can help it a bit by crocheting very loosely. And you can crochet an edging all the way around the piece. That will help a great deal.
