Using wonder under?
When you are doing an iron on Appliqué using whatever product you prefer, do you apply the iron on on the whole item or do you " frame it" with just the narrow edge to make it softer feeling/looking? I now just frame the item, like the finished feel better.....especially if there are more than one layer of fusible.......and easier to quilt.....just wondering.....

I do it both ways depending on size of the piece, larger ones I frame. Lately I having been using my Elmer's glue stick on the edges (ran out of fusible) and it holds well enough while I sew around the piece.

This was just a real "Well Duh!!!" moment for me also! I'm working on a large hanging, with multiple layers, and I did not think (or frankly know about) "framing". The center is so stiff it's been really hard to work on. Lesson learned!!
