One thing I've only made very limited trials with, but have great hopes for when it comes to aligning those pesky guards just right: a thin layer of plain old Elmer's school glue. You know, the sort that washes out of your clothing. As long as the fabric is soakable, it all seems to come out with no staining, and since it takes a while to dry you have time to reposition things. The bond is weak enough that if nothing else, you can just peel it off, add a touch more glue, and put it back in another place. You'd still have to sew the applique down, of course, but it's a nice cheap easy alternative.
