yes, you could hand stitch with the fusible thread. i've never done it for binding (too much hand stitching for me) but i have hand stitched with it for applique pieces.
when i have a complex applique with lots of pieces i'll hand stitch them together using fusible thread - then when its a nice big unit fused together i move the entire piece to the background fabric and stitch it down.
