I love appliqué, I think I have done about every kind there is. I do use the Eleanor Burns method. If are a beginner it is simply a no fuss way to start. Without the interfacing and the edges turned under it is called Needle Turn appliqué and you can google it to see. There is a learning curve with it and it needs to be hand done, is not as sturdy as machine appliqué in the wash. What are you making this quilt for, if it is daily use then by all means use some kind of machine appliqué. If you use the interfacing method then get the lightest weight you can find. If you have not seen the video on this then go to the quilt in a day media center web site and view it. That should give you some very clear instructions.
