Watterstide,
I have been appliquéing for years. I use the fuse the first layer, stitch, add next layer stitch, so forth and so on.Slow, uses more thread and way more consuming but it is what I do.

Best,
d

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!
