B. Fuse tracings to Fabric: Place tracings glue side down on wrong side of fabric for each applique. Fuse with a DRY iron. Trim pieces to final shape called for by pattern.
C. Fuse appliques to Foundation: Remove backing paper from appliques and arrange on fabric. Fuse with DRY iron.
This is an easy method. I then stich each applique with a small zigzag stich after I have placed the appliques where I want them. You will be able to move the appliques after you've taken the paper off, just don't iron until you are satisfied with the placement of your appliques. I hope this is easy to understand. Good luck with this method.
