If the OP is doing her hanging by this technique (raw-edge machine), what does the question, 'raw-edge or blanket stitch' mean? I understood blanket stitch to be one of the methods of raw-edge?

Could someone explain please? TIA
Raw edge leaves the edge of the applique unfinished. Blanket stitch, zig-zag or satin stitch finishes the edge of the applique.
