If I use fusible web to cut out the applique, it seems to me that the thin lines would be impossible for me to stitch down to the base fabric. I thought some of you may have suggestions for the best way to handle this problem. I don't do hand applique or hand embroidery.
Thanks in advance,

This might be pushing it too far, but I'd ask kiddo to have someone re-draw the figure with heavier lines so you could work with it easier
