I think raw edge applique is easier than needle turned applique. I can't do a lot of hand work so needle turn isn't for me. Have fun at your class.

This is a video of raw edge applique.

This is a needle turn tutorial.
I found both of these by doing a search here on the QB.
If you search both topics you should find lots of help.

raw edge is easier and quicker. Fusible applique is the easiest and what most new quilter prefer.
here is a link to a good video which explains it:

Turned applique is harder, takes longer, and alot of practice to accomplish. Once you master it, it become addicting!

is the class a hand applique class?
needle turn applique is great once you get the hang of it. raw edge applique is usually done with a fusable- and machine stitching (the fusables can be pretty difficult to hand stitch through.)

There are a number of other hand applique techniques besides just needle turn. For example, using freezer paper underneath works for me. Reverse applique is sometimes quite appropriate, and there's always back-basting. I should think that a class would cover all the various techniques. Which is "easier" may depend on the look you want. Try them all!

As your skill increases, some methods may be quicker for you but I personally don't think any applique is quick!! Enjoy your class, don't get discouraged when some people get the techniques in a fraction of a second and you will surely be a better quilter at the end!

I really like backbasting, but that said it depends on the project. Some are "just get it done" while others may become heirlooms. Investigate several methods and then you will find the one you like best. Good luck - there are lots of You tube videos that can help - I took two classes at my LQS

I used to do hand applique but now do it by machine. I fuse the pieces together then satin stitch the edges to the background.
A pretty easy one usually taught after practice on triangle, square and circle practice pieces then hearts then this type.
