Hand Applique---

There are various ways to do it. IF you are using a fusable product then you do just put it down and iron it. Then you can do what ever sewing on or near the edge that you would like, usually on machine.
If you want to turn under the edge you would not glue it down or use the fusable backing. But I am a novice at applique. I am sure someone has a better explanation.

if you do not turn some under, there will probably be fraying. if that is the look you want, then go for it. you could use a product like Wonder Under and that will eliminate most of the fraying, but it will make your applique stiffer

My Mother did raw edge, I like to do both. Some of Mom's are fraying as she did not use anything in the sixty's through early eighty's to stick them down. with the iron on's we have now I have not had any problems with mine.

I use a very thin iron on interfacing. I then can trace my design on it and cut it out. To apply to the background, I use a fabric glue stick to spot glue it, then I machine stitch around the design.
