I haven't done this yet ..... let us know how it goes if you use her tutorial.
I have been using this method for my Affairs of the Heart Quilt. Although it takes some time, I found it great. I use a clover mini iron, otherwise I burn my fingers I have used only Batiks in my quilt so I haven't found the need to clip my curves, they sit nicely. Also if your pattern has a lot of circles I highly recommend getting a set of Perfect Circles http://www.connectingthreads.com/too...y__d81770.html as I could never cut a perfect circle.
I stitch down my applique with silk thread which just disappears into the fabric and is lovely to use.
