Very frustrating.
What kind of applique? Details, details!!
I am using Heat n Bond lite iron on adhesive. cotton fabrics. zig-zag stitch.
You may need to set your tension a little lower. What happens with fusible is the stitching pulls the background fabric up to the edge of the applique if it's fairly stiff. Do a test piece and see if it will iron flat when you're done.
