Pittsburgpam: your machine raw-edge applique looks very neat. I was just watching Sharon's video on this and hadn't tried it yet. (I have a quilt top done that needs flowers appliqued on it, and have been debating whether to turn under and machine quilt or do raw edge.) Some machine applique books say to use tear-away stabilizer, but I don't want to do this if I don't need to. Did you use stabilizer on yours??
