I'm trying to work out a good way to applique some white fleece fabric in the shape of a sheep onto a woven cotton fabric. Originally had not considered how difficult it would be to cut and pin in place and am afraid heat would melt the fleece, so don't think paper piecing would work. I don't want to use anything that would cause the fleece applique to end up permanently stiff, so something that would wash out would be excellent. Since my plan is to do a blanket stitch around the sheep applique, I don't want to use a spray product that would go all the way to the edge of the fleece.

I'm a novice quilter although I know how to sew. Appreciate any suggestions!
