Do, please watch this tutorial! I was lucky to be pointed to it when I was learning to applique. Now I will never hand applique without the fusible! It can stay on and is easy to sew through where glues ( I tried) are not! I will use a drop of Fray-check after sewing if I need it! I also like the little bit of the 3 dimensional look the fusible gives!
Good luck!
