When I just did my airplane applique I used the freezer paper method and painted starch around my turned edges. Its a liquid called " Stiffy", no really !. Great stuff. After pressing over the edges w/my mini iron I was able to peel off the freezer paper and the applique piece stayed perfectly in place. I am also able to save the cut out freezer paper design to use again, which was a plus since I hand drew everything. :wink:
