Should be fine, you could do a small sample of the two to see how you like it

funny how one person is taught (or just told) one thing and they believe they are RIGHT PERIOD! lots of discussion about what is raw edge & what is not... some of us were taught- raw edge was an easy- technique where you can use fusible or not and then machine stitch- with what ever stitch/method you choose- the edges are not turned under (hence 'raw edge') or you can hand applique- "needle turn" where the edges are not 'raw' they are turned under and the stitches are made in the fold- how you choose to finish your raw edges are your choice- there are lots of options- zigzag, blanket stitch, straight stitch, satin stitch, other decorative stitch...anything goes. don't be 'the quilt police' and demand only YOU have it right- there are many, many different techniques- with new ones coming up all the time- plain & simple- difference - raw edge- edges not turned under- finished edge - edges turned under.

The nice part of doing raw edge with invisible thread is if you decide you don't like it you don't have to take it out before you do blanket stitching.

This is a great point!
