I will caution you that the fabric is printed with a drift which gave me some challenges when trying to match the pieced backing.

I would rather sew than spend time at the ironing board and I did not like the stiffness. I tweaked the process a bit in a follow on post where I added a stitching line as a guide to turn under. Now I feel that appliqué is a technique I will pursue as an occasional change from piecing, my first love.

Besides, aside from not wanting to cut a slit in the background, I learned that the paper is not so easy to pull out even before it is stitched down and even if I have not sewn through it.

I have been shying away from appliqué (other than the fusing type) for years and what do you know, now that I tried it, someone is calling my novice attempts a "process". Cool!
