Hi! I'm a bit conflicted about how to approach a table runner project I'm wanting to do for Christmas gifts. The pattern I have instructs you to use fusible applique for the pieces and then shows a blanket stitch around each of the pieces. The pattern is from Europe and I've translated it with an App so obviously I've lost something in the translation
. I really don't have any substantial experience with fusible applique. My question is, is there a fusible product that I could use for raw edge Applique, where the applique itself will not fray once it's fused, I even after washing? If so, what is it and will it make the runner stiff? I'm not against turning the edges on the applique pieces either, rather than do raw edge, as I actually prefer that look and am more comfortable with the long term wear and tear on it. I Really don't want to use a satin stitch on the project as I like the look of the blanket stitch, as it adds more to the flavour of the piece in this instance. The shapes involved would be fairly turned edge friendly
. Any insight you can offer would be appreciated!
thank you,
Kathy
