Yes this method has been used by Eleanor Burns. I am an extreme fan of hers. This method works great with small pieces. To turn them she uses a straw and a ball point bodkin. I don't have a bodkin so I use a crochet hook. You put the straw into the piece that you are turning, *pull so the fabric is over the end of the straw and use the bodkin and push the fabric into the straw. Pull it out of the straw, turn the fabric and repeat from *. Or you can watch any of Eleanors tutorials on the flower appliques. She shows this technique as well as using fusable. Have fun!
