Was it a kit? Her fabrics have kind of like a batik finish on some of them, and I find the heat'n bond lite that I prefer doesn't work very well with them either. One way would be to appliquilt it, make your sandwich & then as another member suggested use your free motion embroidery option & just stitch about an 1/8" inside the shape. This will stop any fraying & also quilt the piece in the one step. I've used this method before & find it good for wallhangings.

I have read several things that say you should only use the fusible to hold your appliques, etc in place until you sew it.

It is a beautiful piece!

I would definitely try the glue then stitch methods the others have suggested. It's a beautiful scene and it would be a shame not to stitch and quilt it.

That's beautiful!
You did a great job!
Sorry about the fusible webbing problem.
I use Heat N Bond Lite.
