I think my question sums it up, but basically I have some fleece that has a gingerbread pattern on it. I want to cut out a gingerbread cookie and attach it to a cotton knit sweater. I have fusible web and want to know if it will work. I also plan to embroider the edges for extra strength.

Yes, you can certainly do that. Just be careful when you are ironing it on because fleece tends to stretch out easily and lose its shape.
No, ive tried that, Fleece has that weird fluff stuff that just pulls of of the fabric.
sorry
You can. And it’s a good idea to embroider the edges as you have planned. One suggestion, if you can do it, is to use a pressing cloth of course, but try fusing it from the backside of the cotton knit fabric. Reason being is that fleece usually has a lower melt point than cotton and you may have problem with your iron (even using press cloth) if you fuse from top of fleece.
Yes, but as the underlying knit is stretched, the bond between the two fabrics will break. Better to sew it on and forget the fusible (which will just make it stiff). If you’re worried about the applique shifting when you are working on sewing around it, you can glue the applique on with something like Elmer’s School Glue — let it dry, then sew, then wash the sweater to get rid of the glue.
