If you fight with the little screw device like me while trying to remove the throat plate on your Janome machines, check out this web site! I LOVE the machines, but this is a frustrating thing to access!!!!

I had some raw edges peeking out after washing and wonder if my folded under part is too narrow, or my stitch is too narrow, or ..... now I did notice one lenth of turned under where I completely MISSED the fabric.

Lynn, it certainly sounds like the folded under allowance is too narrow. I have a 6500, and I use mode 1, stitch 08, set at 01 and 01. You do have to watch that you catch all the edges -- my latest was black on black, which was a booger-bear to see! However, if you turn it under enough, it won't unfold unless you miss more than one stitch. Hope this helps! (I also use the Sharon Schamber method, it turns out beautifully!)

Thanks for the input!

Yes, I have finished my 6th BOM now and I'm much better! I think I had turned some places too little and then, probably missed stitches on some of those places.

What I've really learned about machine applique is this:

If you really want it to look great, you can't sew fast!
