Exactly! I used a wooden cuticle stick, the ones that you buy at the drug store, and thought of my fondue forks too, although unless the pieces are real small, not really necessary. Bet Ferrier also has water soluble foundation paper for appliqué, which I tried recently. It works very well, you can run I through your inkjet printer if you need several copies (which I didn't need or do) but the reason I wanted it was because I didn't want to have to cut out the quilt top in behind the appliqués. Worked great. I've done needle turn in the past, but I like the nice smooth edge results of gluing the edges down and machine stitching them onto the quilt top.
