Thank you for the help. I watched Jenny's video with the fusible on the back and I hadn't seen that so think I will give it a try as that helps me 'stick' the applique down once done. My folded under edges were 1/4". I measured accurately when I cut it out so not sure I can do much thinner there or I have nothing left. I also was looking thru my fabrics to see about making a lining and I noticed all my solids, regardless of color or brand, need 3 layers of fabric before they become opaque. However, any of my prints I checked do not have this problem and a folded under section would not be noticeable. It must be something about solids.... So I think I will try 2 layers of 'lining' inside the circle. I'm also going to try a thin batting layer as that also provides the opaqueness and I wanted rest of my buttons a little puffy anyway. I will post another photo when I have something that looks good.
