Cas, I used the flip and stitch method. Lay the new one on top of the one already there, (backside up) with the seams matching as lose as possible - hold it firmly, turn over and sew on the seam. It is similar to the paper piecing technique. I didn't do any applique on mine. Hope this helps. Look at the little illus at the top that says stitch and flip. fmhall2
