You certainly want it to hold up to the test of time. You could use either the freezer paper, starched-edge or "glue down" method and then use the stitch you used in the first one if you want it to look decorative -- or choose another stitch of your choice. There are lots of online video tutorials to help you out with any number of applique methods so you should be able to find one that you are comfortable using. :wink:
I hope I didn't overstep the line with my comments. I don't mean for them to be rude or hurtful in any way. :| I'm sure that whatever you choose to do your quilt is going to be beautiful!!! :thumbup:
OH. No. I am not offended at all.. I was actually just watching a tutorial on blanket stitch before I came back over to the board. I think it needs redone also. Since the only stitch on my machine that is actually working like it should is the straight stitch. I think I am going to try my hand at hand applique again. I really do appreciate all the feed back. I am not offended at all. I think I needed someone else to tell me to redo it.. LOL
