I make these and sell them, but hate to block. After months of pondering whether this will work, I finally got the time tonight to try it and yes, it does.
Simply do the first row normally. Turn, and work the second row with the first row's "back" to you. Then turn and work the next row with it facing you.
It's a bit of a challenge to get the third row started, but you get used to it. It makes a bit of a ridge between rows that somehow stabilizes it, but I think it's kind of interesting.
Now, I don't claim to have actually invented anything, and I am sure others have thought of this or did it themselves, but if not, I am happy to be the first.
N-JOY!

This sounds like a good idea, if I understand it correctly. Normally you do this in rounds, without turning. You are saying to turn it, changing the direction of the row? I will give it a try. Thank you for posting it, you have a vote from me.
Yep, you got it. You have to force the next two DC's after the chain 2 (or 3 if you like...my preference). It really does make it all lay down a lot better, and I have had some lay next to my craft chair for two days now and no curling up. I hope this helps if you are a novice or a seasoned crocheter. I know it sure will for me.
Thanks for the thumbs up!

I posted this feedback but I can't see if yet, so if this is a duplicate, my bad.
Yes, that is exactly it. It is a bit of a tight squeeze to get the next two DC's in after the first chain 2 (or three, my preference) when you turn the work. I have had some laying out on my work table and they have not curled at all. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a novice crocheter, I think this will really help.
