I think you mean using fusible web not fusible interfacing for appliqué. The purpose of fusible interfacing is to add stiffness. Fusible web is simply an adhesive.
There are many types and weights of interfacing and that will determine what it is used for. Do you know what brand and product number you bought?
Fusible interfacing is correct, you do the Elanor Burns method, where you sew it and turn it and you have a finished edge applique, then you iron it on and it affixes it to the material and you can either machine applique, or hand applique. Works great.
