Well, thanks to Kathy's tutorial on fused applique with machine embroidery, I may have to rethink how I want to do my AOTH. I had never tried it before and today may two of Block 34 of AOTH (although I made them for something else and made them BIG - 12" blocks. They came out really good and now I think I love this way of doing things. My only concern is how well it will hold up with washing. Have any of you used this type of machine applique on quilts other than wallhangings?
