I am decorating a shell for my dd. I usually sew my appliques on the shell, but is it better to glue them on?

Ahh, the big debate - to sew or to glue. If I'm being paid well for a dress then I sew most of the appliques and glue ribbons and other trims that need to stay perfectly straight. If I'm trying to get as pretty a dress as I can but don't have much money to invest in my time then I glue and go on. I have found that most moms couldn't care less and would rather have their money invested in flash than in good workmanship that ends up hidden or glued over with stones anyway.
