i know some people from here have done this but i cannot find where they have posted, i tried the search option already.
i will also show another wall hanging that was much easier.
the letters were purchased, (how easy i thought_) but they are plastic!!

I love your moose, very nice work. I just started the deer by the Bigfork Bay Company.
I have done several applique wall hangings by McKenna Ryan. Here is how she suggests you free motion quilt around the applique pieces using YLI thread. I quilt every piece, because it really adds to the beauty of the wall hanging.

I have not done much fusing, so I am not an expert. I was told that a stitch that goes _ _ _ _ /\ _ _ _ _/\ is good for edges.
I have made hand appliqued dogs and an eagle. For that quilting, I did as quiltpd suggested and tried to suggest the animal's texture with the quilting, but light quilting elsewhere.
