Thanks for the explanation of this technique! I think yours are beautiful!!!
I'm going to attempt to make an applique using this technique to make my bichon frise. I've drawn the picture and am wondering how I'm going to trace it onto the dark fabric. Maybe I'll cut it out and draw around the outside. See if that will work. In the meantime, I'd better trace my drawing onto another piece of paper so I don't loose my hours of work!!!

I'm quoting Nancy Lee Chong - see this reference - http://www.prqc.com/qa.htm - scroll down to #14.
It's fine if you want to call something reverse applique, but the techniques used to create it are no different than the techniques used for all other needle turn applique.
No, there's really no such thing as reverse applique. Applique is applique! You turn it under and you sew it down. However some people do call it reverse applique when the primary pattern is being revealed by cutting away and tucking under the "background" part of the pattern. In this case, the primary pattern is what is being turned under and sewn down (it's on top) so it doesn't fit that definition.
I respectfully beg to differ, but I took a quilting class in 1981 and it included "reverse applique", so if there is no such thing there are many quilters out there that think there is. Just google it there are several tutorials online.
