I recently purchased a pattern for a lovely beach scene applique wall hanging. The problem is there are a lot of very small pieces to applique. Do these small pieces need to be sewn or can I just use the fusable webbing? Hope this makes sense.

I would sew them all down as the fusible it not strong enough to hold them there permanently. It's a pain but it will be worth it in the end.

What do the instructions with the pattern say?
I do mostly needleturn, but if you have lots of small pieces maybe fusible would be better. You can always sew around them using a small zigzag. Janet |
if the quilt is to be used as a quilt- and laundered the pieces need to be stitched- if the piece will be a wall hanging with no chance of being laundered you can use a more permenent no-sew fusable.

I would sew them or they may start to peel off. When washed some could come off.

I have used clear monofilament thread on very tiny appliqué to hold them down and then if the stitches have to cross over another color it's not noticeable.
