I try to iron the allowance over the freezer paper, but this is the part where I mess up. I can't make a good enough seam to iron to so that I can stitch it down.
After that you take the freezer paper off and iron on the applique onto your background at the seams
and you're using fusible web on the wrong side of the fabric while you're doing this? i'm confused.

wouldn't the press under seam be web to web and adhere it down?

then when you fuse it to the background the turned under part wouldn't have any fusible web to iron onto the background fabric.
