or you could use fusible interfacing which is only glued on one side.

i'm not trying to give you a hard time, i'm sorry if its coming off that way.

i'm OCD and there's a thousand ways to do applique and your way might be better and i would like to understand your method.

please forgive my interrogation like posts :oops:
Not a problem! I'm not taking it the wrong way, questions is the only way to get answers right :) . When I first got my Cricut I used to use the heat and bond with the freezer paper for a stiffer applique, now I just cut the freezer paper with the machine and bypass the heat and bond. But I have friends that still use both, it gives you a lot more prescion and a lot stiffer applique to work with. With the Cricut your able to cut alot of images some with fine detail.
