:oops: I already put the fray check on the edge of the material. Was planning to put the fusible web underneath and iron together. Is it too late? :?:

Probably not. You can iron over fray check with no problem.

I'm doing something wrong. :cry: I can't get the fusible web to stick. What do I do? :?:

Actually I got the fusible web to stick. But it's only stuck on one side of the seam. :roll: Now what?

I have an old quilt from a friend's daughter ready for surgery. It has quite a few seams that have come undone and frayed so sewing them together is not an option. I have decided to make rectangular applique pieces to hand sew over the open seams. As the blocks are in a regular pattern, I will have to put the same applique in several spots on the block to look even and balanced. Maybe you could do something like that too.

I thought about that but I'm out of that material (except for what I need for the Binding). But I did get the seam to stay together.The bad part is that the seam is kinda stiff. But it's better than the alternative. I just hope that it stays together. Am praying. Also the quilt doesn't really lend itself to applque. But if this doesn't work I will have to find some material to match and figure something out. Maybe circles. My daughter is into polka dots.

Also, I have a question about appliqueing (sp). I already have the top layered and partially han quilted. How would I applique on it?

I can't get anything to work. I've tried fray check and fusible webing and then fray check again. See :shock:
