Instead of using stabilizer for applique, I "paint" the background fabric with a heavy starch solution (1:1 Sta-Flo and water), throw it in the dryer, then iron with steam -- all this before I ever cut the background square. The fabric becomes about as stiff as cardstock so it does not tunnel or distort while I do machine applique.
