I have a question. What kind of stitch do you use when stitching around the applique? I've been doing a satin stitch but it takes sooo much thread and time. I'd like to know what others do. Thanks and hope I see lots of replies.

I've used either a blanket stitch or a narrow zigzag.

I use the blanket stitch. I just like the way it looks.

My Bernina does a triple blanket stitch that looks really good, so that's what I used on mine.

Most of the time I use a small blanket stitch. I've always hated the thick, stiff satin stitch on quilts. Once in a while I use a small zigzag.
