I'm understanding that you are sending to long arm quilter? Be sure to let them know that you used fusible so they slow down--some fusibles create a bit of drag while quilting. Are you planning to have the quilters closely quilt on the applique? If so you will probably want to do a seam around the edge (maybe with invisible thread). If you are talking about close quilting around the applique, just ask the quilter to stay off the raw edge (he/she probably would anyway) as your fusible and blanket stitch should do the job.
