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!
dublb: How bout a few photos showing us how you do this. I think I will try it, but seeing is better to be sure.
THANKS!!
