I like to hand-sew and applique but then get boxed into a corner with what to do when.
However these hurdles are also fun.
Hi K-Roll, I always applique and sew before I add my peltex and backing. (Most of the time.) There has been a time or two that I have forgotten. I always stabilize my fabric with a medium weight stabilizer to make the card a little stiffer and easier to applique and sew or embroider on. Then, I iron on my peltex. (Carefully, so as not to burn any embelishments.) Then, I will sew my card to the backing fabric. This is just my way, not the only way. Maybe some of my tips can help you.
