i don't quite understand what you are doing...you've stitched the fusable to your appliques? generally fusable applique a paper backed fusable is used to trace your applique pieces onto- then you cut them out- press the fusable side to the back of your fabric- cut out your shapes- peel off the paper- then fuse to your background fabric...then stitch it all down
i buy my 'sewer's aid' from 'clotilde's, nancy's notions, connecting threads, keepsake quilting' on line or from my local quilt shop- it helps keep the lint down when using cotton thread & makes hand stitching easier- generally fusable applique is machine stitched down either with a small zigzag or a blanket stitch- needle turn applique (with no fusable added) is stitched by hand.
