instead of freezer paper use template plastic, cut your pieces with just enough (turn under) fold it over to the back, starch it into place with an iron, remove the template plastic, and repress so it is all shaped properly with the turn under crisp, stitch down with tiny stitches. good luck.

The best way to needle turn applique is the Back-basting technique. It is easy, transportable and looks perfect when finished. Find it at http://www.appleblossomquilts.com/tips/backBasting/
I have been using this for some time but found her instructions after getting a computer.
