I seldom do needle turn applique, due to problems with carpal tunnel, but I made a quilt for our DGD last Christmas that had lots of appliqued flowers, hearts, butterflies and dragonflies. I used Wonder Under to fuse to the quilt, then did raw edge stitching around each applique to make sure they stayed put. It was extra work, however, I was under a deadline, so I picked the fastest way. I have also used Eleanor Burns method of using fusible interfacing, making a slit in the center, then turning RSO and then raw edge applique - it worked quite well on a Dresden Plate quilt that I did for the centers of the plates.

This link shows the way I do hand applique; for me it is so easy. Of course, this can be used for machine applique as the video states. LOL

When I do Sunbonnet Sues I usually bast the edges under and iron the pieces flat. then I top stitch around the edges. I remove the basting threads. It makes it easy to do.
For some things like Dresden Plates I like to use the Herringbone embroidery stitch by hand,. It is so easy to do and makes a really pretty edge.

I love hand sewing so prefer needle turn, although the quilt I am working on at present is sticky stuff then invisible thread bonded.
Not keen but I can. Hand embroider on top . It's a Liz Hand Delphi quilt course.
