When appliquing, do you fuse everything at once then stitch only the exposed areas, or do you fuse each layer and stitch all of every piece? "
I would think you have to press/fuse each piece. i used applique pins,stuck straight down, to hold it in place on a pressing board...then slowly pressed as i removed the pins. then stitched the exposed areas only. I am no expert at this,of course..but it is the way i have done it ...good luck!
