Default Fray Check for Applique??

I am learning to applique, and when cutting out the applique fabric shapes have been clipping the deep inside curves/points to about 3-4 threads from the pattern edge.

I am wondering if I should use Fray Check on the fabric edges? I have looked online and don't think I have ever seen anyone mentioning problems with fraying applique edges, even though I know from general sewing that this can be a real problem. I am tempted to put Fray Check on ALL the fabric edges, but it does seem like overkill when I stop to think about it.

I do intend to wash any quilts I make, occasionally.

Does anyone have any experience with this, or recommendations? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
