I understand not liking embroidery or appliqué. Sometimes I hand embroider. I believe that makes it more challenging if the quilt goes to a longarmer. With applique if it’s not tacked down properly it would unravel. If I know a quilt is going to be a charity quilt I lean towards piecing. I have had a fusible applique quilt on my bed for the last 10 years so I’m pretty confident of the fusible and tacking method I use.
