I think this is easier than needle turn and hold up better than raw edge.
Wow! The detail on this is stunning. I will now give this a try. Have an Auburn quilt in the works for a son and was avoiding the "AU" logo since I didn't think I could applique it. Now, you've changed my thinking and maybe, just maybe, I can. Thanks a bunch!
