Here they are, the DJ appliques that I have done so far, in all their wonky-wobbly-ness!
The top three were done in December.
The rest this month ... thanks largely to two days waiting for the satellite dish guy to arrive.
I'm just kind of stumbling along and figuring out what I am doing here.

Thanks OKSGlad ... though wobbly and wonky they are. I hope I can get better ... or might be just downsizing DJ to skip applique.

Thanks HuntA ... I thought some of them were pretty smooth, til I finished them off and gave them their final pressing. Am wondering if the pressing poked out some of the rough edges? And here I thought you already had been doing some appliques! ... where is my brain? I decided I better start trying to do them for if I left them all til the end, for sure I would never do them. Maybe if I sneak them in amidst, I can tolerate and endure?

Oh but this is one impatient turtle! I want to do it right from the beginning ... immediately ... NOW!!!!!!! I just wish I had someone to mentor me IRL to help me along with applique. Am I doing things right? or wrong? that is the question! and someone to check in with sure would help, being that I really do not know what I am doing. In all honesty, despite all I have said, I am fairly happy with what I have done so far ... and not too discouraged.

What about using your sewing machine and doing a real small applique stitch around those edges? I've used it a time or two and I think it turned out ok. But maybe ok is not good enough? I hate applique too, and my arthritic fingers give me fits with all that small stitching.
