stormwater

To date I've not done a lot of hand applique, but my daughter picked Kim Mclean's "Flower Garden" (in 1800's fabrics) for a wedding quilt. The techniques that give me the best results mean that I've got to cut the back of the applique on many of the blocks to remove the freezer paper.

Anyone mend the slits with a fast whip stitch or fusible web, Just In Case? Or am I being overly concerned?

Thanks
