Thanks for taking the time to give us that great tutorial.
Just so happens I am doing some applique right now. I am going to try it.

Thank you for sharing. Great pictures, easy to follow, nice job.

OK...I know I am going to sound dumb...but I am confused. I thought raw edge applique referred to sewing inside the edge of the applique and letting the edges have a "raveled" look? I thought this method was just applique using heat and bond instead of turning under? Will the edges of this ravel then?

Thanks for the great tutorial sharon.

Do the edges not fray when you do it by hand and not turn it under? I have always done machine applique and want to learn the hand but am a little nervous not to turn the edges under.

Thank you for posting this, I am getting ready to try an applique, this does not make it seem so bad.

The type you are talking about you just lay down the applique and sew it down - it will fray. This one with the heat n bond and stitches will not fray :lol:

You can do this type by hand without turning under and it will not fray because of the heat n bond . One of the other ways by hand with turned under edge is needle turn - that I haven't figured out yet :lol: LOL

The heat n bond stops the fraying :thumbup:

on raw edge you do sew inside the applique & I have even used it on quilts that have been washed several times. I do sew very close to the edge tho'. I just love the contrast effect.
