Jane,
On the Misty Fuse, I'm wondering how solidly fused the edges of the applique are. Do you have any idea how it stands up to washing? I don't like doing satin stitch around raw edged applique because it is so slow and stiffens the applique, but I am wondering if a blind hem stitch is enough for Misty Fuse. I know that Steam-a-Seam holds up decently in the wash; if Misty Fuse does to, that would seal the deal for me!
