Suppose you could always try it on a scrappy piece. I tried satin stitch it didnīt work for me.
I don't really have that good needle skills, I used a sewing machine for the first time two years ago, and my hand sewing is way behind my machine sewing skills, lol, so I will try whatever I am planning on scraps first...most likely, I'll just put it together and quilt it later, unless I can master your method of QAYG.
