It is woven....I opened a corner of the package to feel it and it feels like a hawaiian silky shirt....I am concerned with fraying it appears that it is going to fray easily, by the way the fabric edges look....Thanks for your input :)
That helps. At least you know you can use a regular needle. You might look for a stitch on your machine that looks like a straight stitch with a zigzag beside it. You could also take a pinking rotary blade or pinking scissors to them to cut down on the fraying. I would use some kind of pattern that doesn't require seams to like up. Something like a brick wall where the blocks are off set from each other would work well.
