I'm playing with my new-to-me accuquilt orange peel die cut and need some input. It looks like it's designed to be used primarily for fusible or raw edge applique-- not something I do much except for quick and throw-away projects. I'd like to make something a little more substantial using scraps from my stash, and I find myself unsure how to do this.

If I do fusible, I think I'd window-pane it to reduce the stiffness, but I'm pondering how to do that -- add after die cutting the fabric? Try to add the flimsy fusible outline to the already cut fabric and then press? Gah!

Then, if I use a blanket stitch to attach -- do I need a stabilizer or will the 2 layers of fabric (orange peel and background block) be substantial enough?

Thanks in advance.
