The best way and quickest way to applique stars for baby quilt
#12
Well I have done stars before, freezer paper and needle turn, but never seem to be able to get really sharp points. However, these are going to be quite small and as they are in a baby quilt that will be washed frequently I need them to stay put. I thought of raw edge applique using fusible, but do not want to do a heavy satiin stich. I wonder about using the heavy duty no-sew bonding fusible, but will this really stand up to all that washing? Any suggestions please.

I would fuse the stars, and then use some stitch to sew them down. If you have a blanket stitch, that always looks good, but you can also use straight stitch, or a zig-zag. With the straight stitch, there will be a bit of fraying around the edges with washing. The zig-zag or blanket stitch would be more secure. I wouldn't recommend the no-sew bond.
