Thank you all for the help & encouragement. I was pretty frustrated for a while there. I'll post a picture when I get the top done. I want to swap out the framing fabric on it, but my husband says I'm being too picky. I think at present it's too busy considering the edging will include blocks of each of the butterfly fabrics chosen for their brightness factor. Although sunflowers on a green back-ground are appropriate, I still think it's too busy & takes away from the quilt top. We'll see who wins in the end. :-)

For small or tight curves, I take a running stitch with needle and thread in the middle of the seam allowance, and then pull it like a gathering stitch while the template is still in side. Then iron the seam allowance down, remove the template and applique. Of course, you have to have a template that won't melt when you iron.
