I like to use a buttonhole stitch to finish off the edges and avoid fraying.
The addition of a letter, word, or shape quickly makes a plain project look like you put lots of work into it :)

easy applique letters . . .
After scoring a couple unopened packages of steam-a-seam on a local swap site for $5, I've been incorporating some applique into some recent projects.
It's really as simple as printing off a letter from your computer, tracing it onto the paper (make sure to trace letters backwards), ironing it to your fabric, cutting it out, and then ironing it to your project. All the instructions are right on the package.

I must admit I have always been a bit nervous of doing applique but you make it look so easy! Thank you :o)
Ooo, nice corners! Corners can be tricky with raw edge applique but yours look perfect <3.
