Looking good! is that raw edge applique? Can somebody explain what exactly is raw edge applique? Thanks.[/quote]
I believe it is when you just sew around the edges with out turning them under. hence the raw edge. I like the satin stitch for that. |

ahh. In that case that is what that would have been? it's secured by heat and bond but then did the zigzag (close) around it twice. |
I love hand applique. I use the needle turn. Several of us quilters who do any handiwork meet at our LQS the last Tues of every month which is also a great social evening. A hand project you can take along any where you go is nice and I find it's great for kicking back and relaxing.

I still haven't mastered that, but I love machine applique, & My eyes are always drawn to applique patterns. I don't mind handwork , so maybe one of these days I'll set my mind to it, & I'll try the needle turn way.

I believe the true raw edge is when you don't use a satin stitch, but do a straight stitch around the edge, maybe a1/16 inch in.
