Applique fraying?????
#1
Why is my applique fraying when I do a satin stitch around it? I have had this problem before, but never to this degree. Is there a particular needle I should be using? I have recently changed the needle and maybe the last one was better for applique than this one is????

Sounds as though the fabrics you are using are a loose weave and this will cause fraying. There is a product that you can apply to the edge of the fabric that stops the fraying. In fact I think the name is "stop fray" or close to that. Very easy to use too.
