Judy, that is exactly right!
I should have also mentioned that if you are doing a more difficult design, say a feather wreath...you do it the EXACT same way...stitch with the Water soluable outside the design only, but don't forget to stitch the inner ring. You will stitch down anywhere you want to remove batting, you just don't have to do all the say...individual feathers. And if you mess up....don't worry, just loop around and sew where you need to as the water soluable is going to go away anyhow.
