raw-edge appliqué

R
Written By Angela Grace

Raw-edge appliqué refers to a type of appliqué where the edges of the applied fabric shapes are left unfinished and exposed. In some cases the edges are given a margin so they will fray and add texture, and in some cases they are sealed with lightweight fusible interfacing as with fused appliqué. This is in contrast to needle-turn appliqué where the edges are turned under.

Angela Grace’s first quilt was started when she was 18, given away unfinished when she was 22, gotten back when she was 34 and finished when she was 39. Now that Angela makes quilts in significantly less time, she’s on a mission to make quilting simple so that new quilters can be creative. When she is not hanging out on the internet you can find her quilting, gardening, reading, or, most frequently, daydreaming.
