I love to do Raw edge applique, I perfer not to use a stableizer. this quilt has been used and wash many times. It keeps looking better and better.

I like to use a stitch like the overcast or chicken foot or other decorative. I have never had a problem that couldnt be fixed. If an edge gets unsewn just sew back over it!
