:thumbup: I also have used fusibles, and it has been fine so far...a trick to not having it feel so stiff is to trace your shape on the fusible, and then cut out the middle part, leaving the edge; then iron it to your cut out applique shape. That way you only have fusible around the edge of your fabric applique and the stiffness is decreased.
Take care,
