You can use any fusible that you want to, the lighter the better. Most of them have a paper release and you draw the REVERSE shape (unless the pattern says that the pieces are already reversed). My Toni Whitney pattern says the pieces are already reversed so they are good to trace as they are!! If you are using Misty Fuse you can sandwich it between two pieces of parchment paper and iron. Now your Misty Fuse has a paper release to trace on. After you trace the pieces rough cut around them, not on the lines yet (be sure to number them as per the pattern). Pick your fabrics and match up with the pieces and you are ready to fuse according to the manufacturer of your fusible. Now cut out the pieces on the lines and you are ready to build your applique.

Pieces traced and rough cut. Ready to fuse.
