base fabric for a stained glass appliqué wall hanging
I am going to make a wall hanging of a cross with rays of different color batiks coming from the cross.
I have several questions.
What kind of fabric should I use to put the appliqué pieces on? I am going to use the stained glass effect, so I don't have to worry about the edges of the appliqué as they will be covered by the "stained glass".
I am thinking of fusing all the pieces to the background.
Also, what kind of batting should I use?
I am sort of new to this technique, so any and all suggestions are most welcome.
