SharonH2O, welcome to the Quilting Board. When I applique, it's by hand. I will use a wash away fusible and trace my shapes onto the fusible, cut the pieces out and iron onto the wrong side of my fabric. After that, I'll either do needle turn applique or thread baste the pieces.

I always use the lite Heat’n bond product for my machine appliqué, it is my favourite. However recently I have been helping a friend with a Laura Heine collage pattern and it calls for steam a seam 2.
Does your pattern also build the quilt on a foundation like the collage ones, or is it more of a “normal” appliqué pattern where you fuse your appliqué to the background? Do you have a see through appliqué sheet to build your shapes on before fusing them to your background? Just asking these questions to see if there is something I can help you with.
have you already seen this video about the laser cut kit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNrJNu3BF60
