    Default Bo Nash

    Have anyone here used Bo Nash? I bought some fabric to use as a backing for a quilt. I was at the long armer today and we saw there was a hole in the fabric.....ggrrrr

    the shop owner used Bo Nash powder. She said it will be fine, but I have never used it

    Has anyone here used Bo Nash powder? Does it hold up?

    I use Bo Nash all the time to repair rips in my husbands jeans, so I can confirm that it holds up. It’s basically fusible interfacing in a powdered form.

    Yes, I used it on my mother's quilt when my machine stopped stitching with the needle down but my robotics kept going. Did this twice until I started babysitting my machine. Used BoNash on the rips and its been doing just fine all these years. I quilted her quilt back in 2012 as my 1st quilt on my Innova.

    Got with Innova and finally after 3 yrs fighting with them they admitted they knew what the issue was and replaced it. Haven't had the problem since. Seems once I made this problem known online they owned up to it. Still love my Innova though it started out rocky. The customer service for Innova is still one of the best in my opinion.

    Haven't had to use the BoNash recently but still have it nearby just in case. I find putting a piece of the matching fabric underneath or between the layers, then adding the BoNash as instructed (can't remember the steps) made it almost dissappear..............though I knew where it was. My mother I'm sure has washed the quilt many times since and she hasn't mentioned any issues with it.

    I have never heard of this product but it sounds like something I should have on hand to make occasional repairs.

    We bought some at a quilt show several years ago. We’ve only used it a few times but it worked exactly like they said it would.

    Yes it works great. At the time I purchased it, they offered two sizes of the screen I think it's called; you'll recognize it when they start talking about it because you need it. I bought the small size, regretted, went online and ordered the bigger one.
