This is a way to do machine applique that looks like it has been done by hand-done with freezer paper, not fusible, and the edges are turned back, not raw. It does take practice to get proficient at doing it, but you get beautiful results and it really does look like it is done by hand, you have to look really close to see that it has been sew by machine.
