What is raw edge applique?
Traditional applique is done by turning under the edges of the fabric to be appliqued onto the background fabric before stitching. Or you can satin stitch over the edge of the applique fabric to attach it to the background. Raw edge applique is done by cutting the applique fabric to the exact size of the piece. A double-faced fusible webbing (Steam-A-Seam 2 is one of the brands available) is then ironed onto the back of the applique piece, the paper backing is removed and the applique is then ironed into place. There is no fabric turned under. You can complete a raw edge project with no stitching on the applique.
