I'm so looking forward to using that stitch for applique projects.

Two good choices if you want to blanket stitch are batiks - they don't fray much because of their tight weave; and felted wool is wonderful as it doesn't fray and it adds some dimension and tactile features to the quilt. Your owl quilt is adorable!Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918572652405076915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575227229193240343.post-63660807616903488092013-08-09T06:56:32.163-06:002013-08-09T06:56:32.163-06:00Great reminder about that applique!

I'm glad you decided to save the day on this.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418828972427644899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575227229193240343.post-83685618260286990302013-08-08T20:18:49.513-06:002013-08-08T20:18:49.513-06:00I've wondered about that - I didn't think ...I've wondered about that - I didn't think that fusible held up to washing all that well. I've made a couple applique quilts, but haven't washed them yet. I think I'll hold out as long as I can! And in the future, I'll zig zag too, if it's a quilt that will be washed.<br /><br />I'm glad you could save that quilt. It is super cute! And, the baby won't mind the zig zag on the back, I'm sure!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198380481975287285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575227229193240343.post-2153719565104630832013-08-08T18:37:36.220-06:002013-08-08T18:37:36.220-06:00Who would have guessed?
