I just finished watching a Sharon Schamber youtube video on needleturn applique. Instead of freezer paper which has to be removed, she uses a sort of stabilizer and glue. It was very interesting. She specifically does some tiny points and innie points. She stabilizes the innie points with Elmer's glue and boy she had a nice point. You all might be interested in her ideas.
