What is the trick to remove fusible "back-side" when Appliquing?

If the problem continues, maybe you could cut two circles - one of the fabric and one of the fusible (removing paper), stack them on the birdhouse, then iron all layers together.
Just an idea - I'd try it on a scrap first.

Don't overheat or over press the first fusing. Just enough to fuse the paper to the fabric. Cut it out, then push/pull with your fingers at at edge. That should rip the paper without fraying the fabric and you can peel from there. I haven't used the newer ones, but that worked with Wonder Under and both Heat'n bonds.

Wait til the fabric cools completely
Score it in the center of the piece, I use a sewing machine needle, and then lift the edge of the paper with the needle point.
If you score all the way to the edge it can cause fraying. :D:D:D

I use steam a seam just about all the time, but when i do use wonder under, i find that i have to let it cool really good, before i peal off the backing, that has helped me a lot in doing that. When i use steam a seam i dont have that problem.
