I did my sunbonnet sue this way, removing the freezer paper before I appliqued but I didn't use glue. Wish I would have thought of that!! Would have been easier. I saw one method which I'm going to use next, which is to make a template out of the freezer paper without the seam allowances, iron it to the right side of the fabric and then cut around the fabric making sure to leave enough for seam allowances, leave the freezer paper on but fold the fabric under and then sew on your applique that way, remove the freezer paper that's just sitting on the top when you are done sewing the fabric. I think I saw that on a blog somewhere..hope that makes some sort of sense!
