I know that works for some but I cannot keep the paper on. I am much better off taking the time to draw the outline.

Thanks for the tip. Actually, I bought a whole set of a gazillion colors of small polyester spools a while ago. (I remember at the time thinking that this price is too good to be true) Well, it was apparently something made cheaply in China but it seems to work for me. I still have TONS of it so I will not be buying much thread for applique unless of course I don't have the right color.

Thank you!!! I have been doing hand applique for a while, but I forget how to do certain things now and then...I have printed out your information and will keep it handy for reference. You did a great job with the drawings and your detailed explanations!
