Raw edge applique
#1

On Quilting Arts #1809, a lady demonstrated a new technique in applying a "solution" to the edges of the back of the applique. When placed between applique sheets and heated with hot iron, the solution turned into a very thin flexible "plastic", assuring no frayed edges. Does anyone know the name of this "solution" and where to buy it? Thanks.

Is it sticky or just more like a fraycheck?
I just use regular wonder under where I've left a bit on the outside of the tracing and if it is a large piece, I cut out some of the middle so it isn't too stiff. Then I end up sewing around 3-4 times. ....But I usually do raw edge on applique where I don't mind a little fray.....

Sue Nickels taught us a technique. We use a double sided product and only use it on about the edge for 1/4 inch. Then we blanket stitch. She showed us a quilt that has been washed several times, gently, and there is no fraying.
Soft Fuse is the product and we use a blanket stitch that on my machine is 1.8 width and 2.0 length (bernina).
