I use liquid fabric softener so I don't have any dryer sheets, but I think that's a good idea. The fusible interfacing is iron on & after you have sewn & then turned it right side out the sticky part is on the outside. The instruction say that you need to iron it flat on a non-stick pressing sheet...just to press out the seams & make it flat. Then you can iron it onto your quilt and the sticky side will adhere to the fabric, and then I'll machine stitch the applique. I'm making a log cabin quilt with oak leaves & acorns appliqued around it.
