After looking at the link you included, I was trying to figure out how this quilt could possibility be fused ..... then I saw the flowers in the border. I am assuming they are the fusible parts? I too just machine straight stitch right along the edge to secure the fused pieces. I usually use invisible thread, either the clear or the smokey depending on the lightness or darkness of the piece to be fused. If you go to McKenna Ryan's website and read the paragraph on Free Motion Savvy, you will find out how she sews her fusible pieces down while quilting the quilt. Granted it all machine quilting so as someone else, it may be best for you to try a scrap piece to see if hand quilting works for you. Good luck. That quilt will be beautiful when it is completed!
