rehak OFFLINE Posts: 2783 Thank you received: 458	Other possibilities are hand applique or invisible machine applique with a narrow zig zag or a hem stitch. Another possibliity is to leave it glued and then tack it down with the qulting. It all depends on the look you like.

irenefrie OFFLINE Posts: 34 Thank you received: 2	Hello, I have glued the basket handle down; what is recommended for securing the handle? I'm not sure that a blanket stitch would look good. Thanks for any suggestions. Irene
