Baby Quilt
Just finished a baby quilt. I did fusible baby animals. Free motioned the back ground and have the binding done. I did not sew around the fusible. It looks good but now I'm worried that I should have sewn around the edges. Any input?

IMHO...If it is to be washed much the fusible might come off.
|
As a baby quilt which is likely to be washed often I think it would be a good idea to at least go round the inside of each appliqué.
|
I think I will stitch around the edges with invisible thread. Thanks everyone - you just verified what I really was thinking.
|
You need to stitch down your appliqués. The fusible holds pieces in place for you to stitch- it washes away.
|
I’ve always thought the images should be sewn down. I just can’t imagine anything appliquéd and staying on a quilt/wall hanging without being sewn.
|
Please don’t use invisible thread on a baby quilt. If it wraps around a toe or a finger, it can be difficult to see.
|
Thank you momsbusy. You beat me to my response. Very dangerous on baby toes and fingers
if it starts to come loose |

I might match the thread colour to the appliqué and stitch about 1/8 inside and let the edges fray.
