[quote=Rachelcb80]LoriJ, love your beach ladies! That is super cute! With the fusible, did you have a raw edge, or did you do the turning right side out method?

With fusible, you have a raw edge. You can leave as is or you can sew around it with either a satin stich or a blanket stitch. I did a blanket stitch in black so it would look "cartooney". I've done others where I did a blanket stitch in a matching color and it can't be seen very easily. The secret with blanket stich is to get VERY close to the edge of the fabric so that it "finishes" the edge.
