I used fray check or something similar on some applique blocks I purchased at an estate sale several years ago. I used it because the applique was not turned edge, but had a blanket stitch only to "stick" it to the background. I tried using a clear thread and and a small zig-zag stitch, but was not successful (I sure wish I had waited until my skills improved.). The fray check left really stiff edges all the way around the block. I don't think it cam be removed. I'd like to make a quilt out of the blocks, but I'm concerned that a long armer won't want to quilt it with that fray check on there. It will be too large for me to quilt on my DSM.

Thanks,
