Do you use machine stitching or hand stitching with the satin stitch? I'm trying to see if I have the satin stitch on my Brother machine and not sure if one of them is that or not.
I have been doing mini Dresden Kaleidoscopes and would like to try the satin stitch for closing off the raw edge. but I've only ever done satin by hand and never used it over a raw edge.

I don't like raw edge applique, but when I've done it, I've used iron on 2 sided interfacing, and satin stitch. My preferred method of applique: I like to sew one sided iron on interfacing to the applique (sew sticky side to the right side of the applique, turn inside out, so that the iron-on side is down toward the quilt). Then trim some of the interfacing away from the center (unless a very small piece) and iron on, and stitch with a satin stitch. This method wouldn't require a satin stitch, but I like the look of a satin stitch.
