I have done a lot of applique and love it and tried all methods. For me, I like trace the pattern on the piece I am appliqueing and baste the pieces onto the background fabric. No pins to get in your way or freezer paper peeling. It makes everything so much easier. All the pieces are now sewn down and I cut away a little at a time as I am appliqueing. Don't forget to clip your curves. I also use a flat wet toothpick (kept in my mouth) to grab the edges and turn them under. Works great!
