Welcome to the board from Southern California!
A lot of folks use Wonderunder. There's also Heat and Bond lite.

Appreciate the advise. I'll look for both wonder under and heat n lite. Do you think I can leave silhouette unstitched?

Welcome

If you use wonder under, you have to leave the silhouette unstitched. You can't get a needle through it if you wanted to!! If you use Heat and Bond Lite you will need to stitch your silhouette down.

Welcome, from Perth, Western Australia. I would applique them...but only because I'm not a fan of fusing. Guess it depends on how the quilt will be used.
