I'm waiting for her book before I do anything. I did buy some invisible thread and I'm going to try Danny Amazonas' technique and see if I can do it.

I've done the zig zag around the edges with invisible thread on a collage coat I made. I fused the pieces down then zig zagged around them. The coat has been worn for several years and the edges haven't frayed so for a wall hanging, you wouldn't have a problem
