Hi, thanks all. I have remade the piece with 2 extra layers of the yellow inside. I ironed 2 sheets of freezer paper on top of 2 pieces of the yellow and then cut the paper template so all pieces were exactly same. Then I turned edge under the same way I did before. Looks so much better. I also trimmed back inside turned under seam and this time clipped some notches as well so it lays flatter. Last time the Heat and Bond I ironed on the back (to attach to the background without sewing) seemed to accentuate the problems of both the wrinkles & transparency so I may try hand sewing to the background first- it looks good now and I'm afraid of that Heat & Bond![ATTACH=CONFIG]620037[/ATTACH] Attaching photo to show both side by side.
Also thanks to Rhonda for the video on the interfacing method. I tried it on the applique circles that I wanted puffy and it was perfect as it allowed me to have a pocket to stuff a bit of fluff inside. I made a practice circle and it stuck nicely to a background so I am happy I can just iron those down!
