Anyway, I am appliqueing my letters on and I found this book by Terry Atkinson called Fat Quarter Fonts which does NOT use any type of stabilizer, iron on on fusing, or interfacing of any kind to put the letters on the fabric, nothing. Is that ok to do? I don't understand the reasoning behind it. I cannot imagin that the fabric won't shift or something. I am to knew to quilting to know any better.

Me too.Like to pin from the back so thread doesn't catch.

I never use anything either just use applique pins and stitch them down by hand using needleturn method keeps the quilt nice and soft unlike when its fused it becomes stiff!!
