On my Row By Row quilt wall hangings, I use Heat N Bond lite to fuse the applique, and then I do a meander quilting. Since it is a wall hanging and won't be washed, I think that is fine.

Love all your rows. I am working on mine too and you are right - they take a lot of time.

Great start, nice job!

I made a row by row (my own pattern) and I stitched all my appliqué down by machine either stitching close to the edge or as part of the FMQ process. I guess I just don't trust fused pieces to "stick". Just me.

I'm sewing the edges of the fused pieces with invisible thread and a short zig zag stitch. I want most of the zig zag stitch on the fused piece with just a bit on the background fabric.

Great start. Please show the finished quilt.

Ah... catch the edge in the fmq process.... That's a great idea, Karamarie! Sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread.

It may be a lot of work but looks like it will be worth it!
