Polly~You are correct, the edge stitching is done with a small, narrow zig-zag using an invisible thread. When the piece is quilted and then soaked and blocked, the stitching mostly seems to disappear into fabric. All of the applique also has stitch in the ditch quilting around it on the background fabric, as close in to the edges as I could get.
