Thanks for the idea of scoring the back of the fusible and peeling from the center. I am going to try that. Peeling from the edge makes we want to have a fit.

Are you using a tear away stabilizer underneath? If the applique "stretches" it will make the threads pop out.

I noticed when I was doing it on my first project my needle was going down right on the edge of the fabric and causing the fraying that you mentioned :oops: I just figured it was from where I was hitting the fabric :?

also make sure you satin stitch is tight enough. It should be very tight, like you would use on a buttonhole or even tighter. I think I set mine on like .4
