It's not that it isn't 'real', it's just that, to me, the hand applique looks so much better. There is such a difference. That being said, when I do dogs, that's not something that is elegant and the raw edge applique 'fits' the project.
I do admire the hand stuff, though.
I've seen some pretty poor-looking hand applique. Just because it's hand done doesn't mean it always looks better.
