I love the look of the Razzle Dazzle in the pics but have yet to see it in the flesh. All the blocks posted have beautiful fabrics and work in them. I don't think I am up to bobbin work though.
Having done cross-stitch and embroidery I have lots of DMC and decorative threads but nothing for applique (apart from the 3 colours I am using for the Penny Haren BOM). We have the Australasian Quilt Convention coming up soon and I am hoping to get some threads there.
I have also used Norwegian Formula. Great stuff!
Are you meaning that you intend to actually stitch the apps. down with the DMC? I'm not sure that would be the best thread to use for that, a single thread would soon get thinner as you pulled each stitch through the batik, though I have found two threads good for the embroidery part.
