If you prefer to use fusible, these notes might be helpful to you. I used this tutorial by Elizabeth Hartman (from Oh Fransson!) to learn initially.
I use freezer paper to stabilize the back, Heat 'n Bond lite as my fusible webbing, and a fabric pencil to trace when necessary.
I hope you find these helpful!

Fusible method:
Starch method:
After placing a towel on your ironing board, starch the heck out of the base and pieces to appliqué.
For the name, I like to use the blanket stitch.
Simply print and cut out, trace on to solid fabric (don't forget to check right vs. wrong side if you're using a non-solid fabric)
Really not as scary as it seems.

Thanks for linking Tracey! I'm really excited for you! :)
The quilt you did this applique for is probably my favorite. And I have seen some other cute applique projects. So I thought I would whip up a fast, non-quilted project tonight with an applique. But I don't have anything to stiffen up the fabric. So much for a one to two hour project. (since you make it look so easy) I'll post a link on fb with my finished projects. Thanks for doing this tutorial!
