I make a lot of applique quilts. I always use fusible interfacing then glue the edges back. Glue the back onto the quilt, add pins for extra stability and then hand sew the edges (I don't use a hoop). I've never had puckering in all the years I've been doing it.
Oh.. I also use Warm and Natural batting
