I was excited when catalogues started carrying the die cut motifs until I called them and discovered they did not have fusing on the backs.
I am ashamed to say that I have cut out some of my appliques but have yet to use any of them on a quilt. Tommorow is another day.
We probably all knew what a die was but it's just the way we read it. I knew but don't use them so my mind didn't go there. It made me laugh and others, too, and that's always a good thing! :-)
