I was wondering about something. For those of you who do raw edge applique and just straight stitch the edges in clear thread (landscape quilts for example), do you then use fray check on the edges?
I'm beginning to handle my landscape quilt a lot now that I'm adding foreground elements to it and I noticed that some of the edges are a little "hairy". I plan on quilting it fairly heavy in some areas so that will help.
Should I wait until after I quilt it then "paint" fray check on the areas that may still need it?
I don't yet know how the quilt will be used by the intended owner. I plan on making it large enough for a decent sized lap quilt, but they may choose to hang it. I'd rather prepare it for "use" than have it come to pieces.
