I always position my applique pieces, and before I iron them on, I always put a tiny rub of the glue stick under each one, just to tack it down, like a bit of a stitch would. If you iron everything on at once, while you are stitching and moving your quilt around, they will tend to come loose. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. As I said, this is my first applique project, and the instructions tell me to sandwich it before doing any stitching, so that's why I haven't secured any of it. Guess it's suppose to act as a stabilizer.
I like Heat n Bond the best, much better than Wonder Under.
Don't use basting spray. You will have a complete mess all over your project.
