You can use light weight fusible interfacing for applique, Eleanor Burns has a technique she teaches in her shows.
You cut out your applique shape out of the fabric and fusible.
Put the right side of fabric facing the fusible side of the interfacing.
Stitch around the whole outer perimeter of the piece.
Make a small clip in the center of the interfacing, turn the piece right side out.
Smooth and shape the applique piece so it lays nicely.
Iron the applique piece onto the block, border or quilt top.
Hand or machine sew the applique pieces in place :D:D:D[/quote]
Thank you, I was thinking along those lines (and going to try) - and possibly some really finer material (using small pieces) to maybe give them a little oomph?? I was going to try a few pieces on a test block to see what happened but I was also thinking of using it to maybe draw your pattern or shape on and then affix it to the material and go from there.
