Actually the frayed look is very popular right now. I like to use a zig zag stitch on the edges to allow a tad bit of fray, and to give my pieces character, especially for little boys. It still holds up very well. The satin stitch is a more traditional look, and while it is very beautiful, sometimes a straight or zig zag looks better.

Just found this tutorial and I love it, thanks! I am happy to see that it is “OK” to use straight stitch sewing for applique!! I also happen to like a little bit of fraying after a few washes!!

I have a question and I hope you read this and can help! What do you do with the threads after you are done? I pull them through the back and tie them off, but sometimes I have trouble when I backstitch in the beginning and ending– sometimes the thread gets caught up or sewn into those stitches and I can’t find the loop to pull the top thread through to the back (if that makes sense?) Just wondering if you have any tips or do it another way?

Thank you! 🙂

to ask. Does running a well-established website
like yours take a large amount of work? I’m brand new to blogging however I do write in my diary everyday. I’d like to start a
blog so I can share my own experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for
new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
