I am working on a pattern that requires tracing onto freezer paper and then later tracing onto fusible. I skipped the freezer paper and trace straight onto fusible interfacing. It sure helps with accuracy. Maybe it will work for you too, to skip the template step. I trace onto the flat side, stitch around the outside and turn it by cutting a slit in the fusible. Then I have a fusible side to the fabric I want to attach the applique to and it's already turned.
