Use the freezer paper but remove it before sewing. Press again and turn it over. Put very small drops off elmers in the seam allowance, place it on the quilt and heat set with your iron. It will wash out, won't gum up your needle, and it is cheap :D:D:D

I don't do it by hand but when I do what little applique that I have done, and if I don't have any fusible web, I use a little spray adhesive.

This is what I would do too.

[ Then how do you get that piece to stay in place flat while you stitch around it.. just incredibly slow stitching?[/quote]

you can eithe baste it in place or use applique pins to pin in place, which is what I do.

The freezer paper is super easy and super cheap as well. Its about $5 for a humongous roll and there are so many other things besides quilting you can use them for. I wrap pork chops and chicken for the freezer, let my kids draw on the oversize paper, Ive used it for cookies coming out of the oven. There's 100 things you can do, also....for applique...instructions are right on the box of the reynolds brand freezer paper.

If you don't want to snip the back to get the freezer paper out, you can sew around 80%, more or less, of the appliqued piece, then pull out the paper through the small gap you have yet to sew down. Hope that helps.

Iron the freezer paper template to your shape. Then paint starch on the 1/4 fabric around the freezer paper, then turn the fabric to the freezer paper and press until dry. Remove the freezer paper and you have the perfect turned appliqué shape to stitch in place.
