When I do applique which is a lot
I trace my pattern on visaflex cut out all pieces
I then lay the baking paper over my design page,correct way
then I peel backing off the visafex and place on top of where it is to go, I keep it on the light box as heat from glass will stick but if I make a mistake I just peel it off and start again.then when I am completely happy with my creation I just lift the baking paper to the ironing board and press,I lay another piece of baking paper over the top of design ,justy to protect the iron.Hey presto your design is complete,just peel off baking paper and place on your garment and press and hey dito ready to hand sew or machine sew to secure.You can roll design up and leave in baking paper if you want to do it at a later date.
I do a lot of baby bibs and baby suites this way.I do not have any to show as ,as fast as I do them they are snapped up by my girls for gifts.
the paper from your computer paper I use well I want to turn under the edges of my applique and hand sew stitching hidden
Hope this make some sense to you if not let me know
Cheers
