i will not "correct" you because you are not wrong. i'll bet "most quilters" don't.
however, being the stubborn, trouble-makin' daredevil that i am, i have done the applique-as-quilting. if you use the same color thread on top and bobbin, and get the tension set just right, it looks pretty kewl. sometimes, even two different thread colors can create an interesting effect.
and sometimes it doesn't. :oops: :shock: :lol:
