Applique
#1
I am going to be adding some of Darcy Ashton bunnies to a spring quilt I am making. My question is: how should I applique them? Which method would hold up to washing? Fusible or hand stitched? Any help out there?

It depends on how much it is going to be used and what for. Baby quilts I have fused and satin stiched around the applique. That sucker aint' going no where. LOL
If its something special I will hand applique. I love hand applique.

I have found that fusible does not hold up to machine washing affter awhile. What I do is use monofiliment thread &sew close to the edge & then do blanket switch.
This helps to keep the fusible anchored, as a blanket stitch is not enough to hold the very edges down permanently.
Hope this helps.
