You can also raw edge appliqué were you use a fusible and then use basically a straight free motion quilting Seam and you go around 3 to 4 times. I like using a slightly darker thread. Generally you might have a little fraying if you don't get exactly on the edge but for baby quilts depending on what your appliquing it can be a cute feature.
I used to satin stitch, but did not personally like the bulk.
