You could always use a washable glue stick. Do as you
have done before with a lightweight fabric or netting,
and rub the glue stick to the back of the piece, put
the applique where you want it, then press. It will
only hold it until it is washed, but it makes the
applique moveable, and you don't have to iron it down.
Or use the Steam a Seam 2 tape I mentioned before. A
small piece will stick to the applique back, then once
you've positioned it where you want, you can iron it
down for a permanent hold while you work.
I also have tried the fusible interfacing trick, but
found it too bulky sometimes.
