Wonder Under is great for appliques.Because you get instant blocks.I did a traditional 1800's in a eagle and swags with tassls.It was pretty.I then went around every block with a straight stitch.I loved it.Since then tho,I have learned to do the blocks quilt as you go with 1 block at a time,then do the borders separate.It was a lot less bulky and a lot easier to manage.Then sew the front together,and use steam a seam for the back and whip stitch or sew in the ditch.A gal on utube has a video of how to do it.Love wonder under.
