I will have to stitch the edges (instead of merrowing) because the edges of the rockers are like a folded ribbon--stitching goes straight down before the end--to simulate a fold in the ribbon. I know this doesn't make sense! The Merrow machine could not sew this detail w/out cutting through the patch. If I do this detail w/ embroidery & then merrow the outside edge the stitches won't match. When I've made small patches before I used a very heavy solvy to add the satin stitch around the edge. I've also tried using a tearaway backing, but that leaves kind of fuzzy edges that I have to spend time trimming. Do you think the washaway/tearaway backing would work for the final step of adding the satin stitched edge? Thanks!
