I watched the Sharon Schamber video again on raw edge applique and she uses liquid stitch around the edge, not the Elmer's School glue. She says it doesn't fray.
I have to go to Home Depot and get the 1 1/4" EMT pipe for my new longarm and Joann's is near there so I'm going to stop and get some. I really don't like the look of the fusible so I'll try a few more methods.
I need a few other supplies anyway (or I'm sure I'll see some that I need :-D )
