1st Machine Applique - IS IT AWFUL? NO CLUE!
This is my first - a12" raw-edge machine-sewn, from a pattern and kit. I did ok with the cutting and gluing. But my dear little Janome 3160QDC does not have a blanket stitch. The shop told me to use the embroidery stitch which is like a doubled blanket stitch. I watched a nice video about how to do it, then practiced and experimented, then took the plunge.
Should I rip it out? Is it horrible? What will save it? What should I do different on the rest of the petals and leaves? HELP!

It is impossible even with plastic foot to see where one red petal leaves off and the next one begins. I don't know whether to make the stitches closer together or farther apart and if the depth of each stitch is too much.
