Thanks for all the lovely comments, I appriciate everyone being so kind. I didn't mean to mislead anyone,I am not totally a beginner, I have done a fair amount of piecing, just not the applique. I used freezer paper ironed on to wrong side, then turned my raw edge under, and stitched with really small stitches by hand. I did not use any fusable. Is that what they call needleturn, or am I doing it right
