The bunching happens because the thickness of the fabric is different between the appliqued part and the single-layer backing. You can use a stabilizer under the backing fabric to even the playing field. Cute chicken btw.
I've had that happen, and didn't realize there was such a great fix! What kind of stabilizer do you recommend? Just the tear away kind I use for embroidery?
