Just thought I would share this if you haven't tried it yet; if you are drawing your own design, layout; or applique by hand I found that using the fabric markers that disappear with warm iron come in so handy! I hated trying to erase or crumple up one sheet of paper after another, this way if line is in wrong place just iron it out and re-draw; you don't have to iron out all of it just what you don't like.
