I've only made one, but I pinned the Dresden to the backing fabric, one pin in each blade. Since I did the one where the top is pointy and finished I just did a top stitch around each blade about 1/8" on the inside of each petal. I then used Wonder Under for the circle and a blanket stitch to attach it. Might be hard to see, but here's a photo.
