Dumb applique question
I rarely appliqué, but was interested in some precut teddy bears. Well, they've arrived and are growling to have something done with them. So what is the best way to anchor them while I stitch them on to a backing? Precuts mean I don't have to trace on to Heat n Bond (YAY!), but I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. See, told you it was a dumb question.

Before I understood the technique of fusible appliqué I had cut out some teddy bears from a panel that I thought would look cute on a quilt. And yes they do.... BUT... I found the best way to apply them to the background was to lay them on a sheet of fusible web & fuse them...then cut them out & fuse them to the background...I actually added an extra step because I didn't understand the technique. I have used the washable glue but find that it is easier to get a nice even shape on the outside of your appliqués if it is all covered with fusible rather than just a few spots of glue. JMHO
