I dont use a stabilizer either, and have never had a problem. There are no raw edges, I applique them down by hand, the centers are added the way Eleanore Burns does it, she makes everything so easy!!

Not of help to your problem, but just want to say I am GLAD we "bother" each other with our problems. What is a major issue to some of us is nothing to some others. That is how we help each other and even if I think I "know" the answer I read just to refresh my mind. Hope your plate quilt turns out well and you will share a photo with us. Bless you.

I have used the wash-away Sulky in the past. I assume you are using the pillow-turn method?

Guess I did my two Dresden quilts "wrong". I just pinned mine to the background making sure I pinned each blade top & bottom & sewed them down.I didn't have any problems & didn't know I should be doing it differently. I machined stitched them down.

I've only done one Dresden plate quilt, and I did the applique by hand, without stabilizer. If you feel you need some, I'd recommend a lightweight fusible stabilizer. you don't want your quilt to be stiff.
