I like using soft fuse interfacing and iron on the shapes. Then I finish the edges with button hole stitches. I really like the look of that style. However, I sometimes do needle-turn by hand too. Depends on the project. There is room for it all in my world.
Recently, I tried the Libby Lehman method where I drew the outline on the top fabric, basted the coordinating fabric underneath and then sewed through both layers on the drawn line. I had to be careful cutting the front fabric away to expose the backing fabric. The finish is a fancy stitch over the cut line. Easy-peasy.
