I'm doing the same bear!!!! I hope mine is as beautiful as yours. Thanks for the posting, I hadn't a clue how to finish this guy off. I believe I'm going to do the single line of stitching through the pieces on my machine. Great idea!!!

I did an advanced FMQ workshop with her last week and she's wonderful! :-D |

I have raw edge stitched on my shortarm on frame...I just sewed very close to the edge of the shape...no zigzag. It came out great!

or are you confusing quilting with stitching your appliques down? 2 different things- raw edge applique simply means the edges are not turned under- usually *but not always* fused to hold in place- then secured with stitching- either a blanket stitch, zig-zag-satin stitch or even a straight stitch. quilting holds your 3 layers together- enhances and finishes the quilt design. some people do thread painting with their long-arms. you can do it any way you want that gives you the results you are looking for |
Beautiful bear. Very stricking piece.

Awesome quilt. It is going to be lovely however you decide to quilt it. I want the deer and moose for wall quilts

I was trying to figure out how and if I could drop off some quilt tops in the UK on my way to locations further east, and then pick them up a month later on my way back, but the timing didn't work. |
I just love bears! Nice work, but I can't help with your question.
