If I don't have any 'legit' applique skills, is that going to bother anyone? I have next to no applique skills, but to say that I really know what I'm doing would be a fantastic untruth... My version of applique (which I refer to as fauxplique) involves heat & bond and a straight stitch around the edges.
I don't want to let anyone down - I can piece like it's second nature, but not this other fancy stuff (not yet, at least).
