I did once use a technique that you turned under the edges with the freezer paper technique, then glue basted the pieces down, then machine stitched instead of hand stitching. It worked fine that way, but for me fusible is just so much easier!
If you have any specific questions, just holler and I will try my best to answer! :D

A tip for those learning fusible applique. When appliqueing large pieces, cut out the center of the fusible before ironing it on the fabric. The only purpose of the fusible is to hold your fabrics together until you sew them. The added fusible in the center is not needed. By eliminating it your work stays "softer" and not as bulky if you are layering mulitple fabrics.
