 oops!  My Edges are showing!

Karen Eckmeier's presentation will definitely give you some ideas on where to find inspiration and how to deal with the scary edges encountered as you do straight stitch applique or raw-edge collage.  No matter what you call it, the edges of the fabric are bound to fray.  From early hand applique pieces, up to her current straight-edge stitch applique series, Karen has shown dealt with these and will share her methods.
