Here's a very interesting comment!! I hadn't thought of the situation from a purely
sewing viewpoint. It makes me think that marketing plays a big part in our perception of what comprises applique-- because do we think it is applique simply because fabric is being used? Simply because we are buying the supplies from a LQS/JoAnn/a sewing department? If we are fusing other materials, like paper or vinyl, why is that called collage instead of applique?
