i don't want to use just a fusible like wonder under, windowing of course. I think this precut kit is including the turn under seam allowance, so fusible interfacing seems to be the alternative to hand turning. Yes, I know about freezer paper using mono thread and tiny zigzag, but I would have to draw the pieces 1/4" smaller onto freezer paper to create the templates. Have done that before.
jane quilter- I am very familiar with all appliqué techniques, so don't need to get a beginner book and enlarging my skill level. I just threw this out to this virtual guild to reinforce what I was thinking as far as " doing" this kit I had forgotten I had. This technique would give me the look of hand app, but for me, not.
The funny side note is now I remember the history of this little SBS. Bought to make for then toddler gd - who now is 22.......I'll make and save for future ggd!
