I am about to attempt a quilt that will have some applique on it. I'm not very good with hand stitching, but did watch a tut that used an iron on fusing technique in which you sewed the pieces right sides together, made a little slit for an opening in the interfacing, then turned it right side out and pressed it onto the finished block. Has anyone done this? Forgot to mention that after you have turned and pressed in place, you stitch around it. Mine will definitely be stitched via the sewing machine. ;-)
