needle turn vs. raw edge applique
I'm working on a pattern that called for needle turn applique. Since I've never done that, but I have done raw edge I did that instead. I had to adjust in places to make pieces meet neatly, but ... what else would determine whether these techniques are interchangeable? My pieces are large and not detailed. The only things I changed were the size of the circle in the middle and the purple/plum pieces needed to meet at the seam in the leaf so I trimmed those edges. I hope the blanket stitch I used really secures these pieces, but my hand sewing lacks a lot so figure it worked as well as that would have.
The background square is 12.5".
