I think I am accustomed to using spray adhesive because I use it so much with the hooping for embroidery, although for that I use a temporary adhesive. For my appliques, as as for many of yours I'm sure, the built up thicknesses of the layers gives a desireable 3 dimensional effect.
Have you pre washed your fabrics? I have had trouble using wonder under if my fabrics aren't washed. It won't stick to the fabric because of the chemicals used in the manufacturing of the fabric.
