Thanks for the tips. Hummm...no adhesive? I like the pieces to stick to the quilt so that they stay in place, but I suppose that you could use pins, or even glue for that. I have also thought about cutting away much of the interfacing after it's sewn to the applique piece. Now, I'm on a quest to find super light interfacing. I don't have many options nearby and I didn't have any luck shopping online with that 'featherweight' stuff. I'll have to keep looking.
