I don't do fusible or needle turn. I cut my shape out of freezer paper & iron it on the fabric. Then I cut my fabric 1/4" bigger then the shape. Next I use school glue & fold the seam allowance over the freezer paper & heat set it w/the iron. (Washable school glue washes out.) I then take the freezer paper off & repress the fold over. I use glue again ta attach the shape onto the background & heat set it again. (On the pillow I just pined it down. I couldn't figure how ta iron that pillow.) Then I either hand sew it on or machine stitch it. A lot of the time I will not sew it down until the whole piece is sandwiched then I will "appliquilt" it down, on the machine. Clear as mud?
I think all three ways are applique!
