If you want a more traditional or “homespun” look to your quilting
project, then Blanket Stitch Appliqué is the perfect technique. This
appliqué variation opts for a decorative finish on the raw edges rather
than covering with a satin stitch.
Blanket Stitch Appliqué is most easily identifiable by its series of “E”
stitches, which are created by 4-ply stitches that travel and make equally
spaced “ticks” across the appliqué edge. The end result gives a cozy
look and allows the fabric to be the main focus.
