some more applique questions.
I have looked at dozens of applique tutorials but still have a few questions that didn't seem to get answered, probably I just missed them. Anyway, will be glad for some help.
1) when doing fusible applique do I need to put something behind the block if I use a zig-zag or satin stitch and if so what is best to use?
2) when using fusible what is the best way to start and stop my stitching to lock it?
3) again when using fusible how do I make nice circles? Cutting and stitching.
4) I did a practice block using heat 'n bond lite but it still seems a bit stiff to me, what other products do y'all recommend?
I haven't totally decided if I want to go w/fusible but these are questions that came ot mind while practicing on a block. Today I plan to try the freezer paper method using spray starch and then hand sewing the applique...that will probably result in yet more questions so thank you for being helpful and patient w/me.
