I think the only way this will work is if you use a satin stitch on the edges. I would do two rows of satin stitch, the first one narrower and the second one wider to cover the first one. That way there shouldn't be any threads fraying around the edges. The advantage of using fusible for raw edge applique is that the fusible tends to prevent fraying of the edge -- at least for awhile; the disadvantage of using fusible is that it stiffens the fabric.
