https://www.facebook.com/Danny-Amazo...2507189104179/ I believe Danny Amazonas fuses his quilt pieces and uses invisible thread to secure them. I do not see any organza or tulle in his work.

From what I understand, the tulle or organza is used as an overlay to help hold down any loose edges. Mine are all fused, so I don't have any loose edges.

Danny Amazonas seems to do a zig zag around all his pieces, but Susan Carlson does free motion and uses the flow of the piece itself to determine where the quilting is going to go. I'm waiting for her book before I do anything. I did buy some invisible thread and I'm going to try Danny Amazonas' technique and see if I can do it.

I prefer the one without the satin stitch. It looks softer and smoother.

I've done the zig zag around the edges with invisible thread on a collage coat I made. I fused the pieces down then zig zagged around them. The coat has been worn for several years and the edges haven't frayed so for a wall hanging, you wouldn't have a problem
