The method I use most often is the sturdiest and the fastest. For a
template, I have a nicely shaped heart cut from sandpaper. I cut two hunks
of fabric bigger than the heart, place them right sides together and stitch
around the sandpaper heart. Trim, slash, turn, press. Voila!
Next I hold the pressed appliqué in position on the quilt block with a
swipe of a glue stick. The usual SM stitch is the one that goes ___/___.
Sometimes I use matching thread and a skinny V, sometimes I'm a showoff,
load with black thread and use a blanket stitch.
This method can survive just about any wear and tear and will work for
most simple shapes. You do have to pay attention when slashing or you can
wind up with two left feet or a backwards b which is, of course, d.

This is the one I prefer, too, J.
I love needle-turn, but don't always have the time. Mind you, I haven't
done very much appliqué in comparison to piecing.
