raw edge applique
I'm working on a piece that is raw edge applique and finishing it with the machine blanket stitch. I used WonderUnder to secure the pieces but am now noticing that the edges are somewhat fraying and not securely attached. When I was stitching the pieces down, I ran the "straight stitch" side on the outside of the appliqued piece (on the foundation piece) and then the stitch jumped onto the appliqued piece. Did I do that wrong? Should the straight stitch also be on the piece being attached? Luckily this is a wall hanging so won't get rough use but I'm thinking it would be a mess if this were a quilt with active use.
