But thank you for explaining how it is viewed by others.
(I also appreciate the notion of sewing inside the applique shape, purposefully leaving the edges to fray. That makes sense too.
When I do blanket stitch the edge stitch is right on the edge of the applique. My machine does a stitch forward and one backward and then forward again so it has three threads right on the edge of the applique.
I have seen and heard fusible applique done with satin stitch or blanket stitch just called fusible applique.
