I want to sew a stuffed animal with a main body part and small pieces of fabric sewn on top of the body (think spots on a cow). What can I do to finish the raw edges of the small pieces?
Hand sewing techniques would be preferred, but machine techniques are welcome, as well.
Blanket stitch around the edge– attach and fray proof at the same time.
Or use fusible interfacing on the back, then cut out the spots and attach by whatever method– the fusible will help prevent fraying.
Or do turned edge or raw edge applique techniques: http://www.quiltingworks.com/howto/applique101.htm
Hem the edged of your spots and then attach them to the body.

use sewable wonder under, iron it on and use a blanket stitch to finish the edges
