It was essential for me and it works great. You can fuse your pieces down (together) and then lift them off and press them to your fabric background.

I made several errors, but I don't think anyone but me could ever find them. Believe me, you will love your quilt when it is finished. This is mine "At Home in the Woods":

This is the same quilt that I made and I too love it! You are right about any little mistakes, they just don't show up as the pattern is fairly flexible when it comes to cutting and placing. Wish I had sewn them down one block at a time too as it certainly would have been easier. Ryan does have suggestions on her website as to how to make her patterns. It's very helpful to at least read them before getting started.
