FYI - Never have I been a fan of raw edge applique and always line the applique with light weight dressmaker interfacing. Last night I was out of interfacing so I used inexpensive organza that I use to support some machine embroidery. As always I put the right sides together, stitched around and then cut a slit in the backing, turned, pressed and attached to garment with a blanket stitch. I was pleased with the softness and lack of bulk from the organza.

Great idea using organza. Tulle might work also.

It does, but the fine meshed tulle is best, not as bulky.
