Julie,
Temporary spray adhesive? It's designed like the air-soluble marking
pens - to lightly stick something down for embroidery then go
away. Put your applique in a box to control over-spray, then lightly
mist. This will make it like a post-it note. I believe there are
glue sticks that are like post-it adhesive also, but I don't think
they're designed for fabric.
Also, as with anything, test first. I think the brand on the can I
have is Sulky - same as the embroidery thread.
HTH,
Sandy

Subject: [h-cost] embroidery question
I've used Wonder Under when I was planning a machine satin stitch
over the applique. I'm looking for a way to keep the edges turned
under for hand applique. I usually sew my applique with a backing
of some very light fabric - maybe even netting - and then turn the
shape much like a pillowcase. No fighting with teeny seam
allowances but doesn't stick to the base fabric either. Any ideas
for sticking?
