If you want to add a little puff. You should add a little fiberfill. Not fusible web. Its loose like they use for stuffing sock monkies or dolls. Fusible web is sewed to the top of your appliqued pieces. Dotted side against the right side of the fabric. Trimmed. A small slit is cut in the web and turned to the back. Then the aplique piece is ironed to your quilt block.

cut it out and fuse it (Iron it )to the WRONG side of the fabric you are useing as your applique. let it cool a little and peel off the fusing paper and now you can iron this to your base fabric or background fabric. Hope this was helpful, can't imagine it did not have instructions with it, But we have all been there, so please dont feel that it was a silly question.

I'm not sure about fusible webbing ... but have used Hobbs fusible batting to make a trapunto style look to my quilting. It really turned out great.
Have also used just plain low loft batting. I drew my design on the quilt top and used wash away thread, colored the tip of the thread with a pen so I could thread my machine with it. Then sewed the around the area and trimmed the batting. When the piece was put together I sewed with regular thread on top of the wash away batting. This turned out great also.
good luck.

I agree with Darlene - I also have a mentally handicapped "child" - a 42 year old who had a prenatal stroke due to a congenital heart defect, and who spent her school years in "special education"...and who still lives at home...
If you have handicapped children it seems to me you should be aware of the inappropriate use of the "R" word....
