I have done: reverse applique by hand, needle turn, fusible and zig zag or blanket edges.. or satin stitch .. or straight line quilting along the edges, freezer paper with machine zig zag, freezer paper with machine blanket, fusible with hand blanket. And probably others as well. Choose the method that makes you happy and go for it. :mrgreen:

When I hand applique, I don't know that I have a named method. I usually turn under a portion of the seam, pin it with tiny applique pins and sew the seam. Nothing fancy.

And thank you all for your help. I love this board :-) And I'll let you know how my project is going. Ordered the cutest fabric for it today.
