Love your Mary Poppins quote. Just thinking, we would have to draw the finished dresden shape onto fabric first and then allow for 1/4" seams at least before laying the dresden plate down for anchoring - doesn't sound worth the effort to me but please do try if you like.
No, I meant after you have sewn onto background. I do it all the time.....with hand applique or machine......one can even do it with iron on fusible if you just "window" that fusible....but to each his own......you did a great job..hope your difficulty improves.
