Ok, so here is what I did for my first block. I did glued on the freezer paper and machine appliqued. It takes a little longer than my raw edge applique but it was well worth it. I used water soluable stablizer on the top and I even did my embroidery on top of it. Allowed me to mark my embroidery without marking the black fabric.
This is still wet from soaking the stablilzer off so the black around the yellow should be gone when it dries.
