Thanks everyone for your help, I'm ready to take the first one on (once I finish someone's year end--gotta work to pay for thread and fabric)! I have my stabilizer and thread ready. Crossing my fingers this works well.

That's what I was going to say. I really like the satin stitch look.

I hope you washed your fabric first, before adhering the fusible. Sizing in the fabric will not let the fusible stick as well.

You guys are so talented with your cute little underwater projects! They both look so nice!

Does anyone have a sample of anything you can post where you've used a decorative stitch on the edge? I've done it with satin stitch and buttonhole but haven't seen a decorative stitch used this way before.
