are you using felt for your appliques???
if so, no turn under is used. the felt does not fray and is used without any turn under allowance added. needle turn applique is done with regular quilting cottons; the beauty of using wool felt is so you do not have to turn anything under. i use freezer paper templates with wool/felt, cut the pieces exact and stitch down either using a blanket stitch-decorative stitch or a regular straight stitch just depending on the finished look i want.

thank you, that is a very good idea. I try first needleturn and if I am not able to do it nicely I will have to add felt to my stash........... :lol:
