I have used it once, and I didn't finish the project. I didn't feel it was very easy to reposition the top, which was a small, wall-hanging thing, when I found that I was off a little. I don't think I will try it again, but some other people use it and like it. If you are intrigued by it, you might want to try a small thing like a placemat and see if it works for you.

idea is wonderful, but it didn't work for me on big quilts as I couldn't get it to stick down evenly so I have gone back to using basting pins and painter's tape -- also it tends to make the quilt stiff even after washing

Thanks for the heads up about the quilt staying stiff after washing. I was wondering how it worked out. I'm always looking for easier ways to sandwich charity quilts but it seems the old tried and true methods are still the best. I have no patience when I have to fight with things.

I've used Hobbs Heirloom fusible a lot and like it. fuse by ironing. it does make the quilt slightly stiffish to quilt with but i soak the quilt and rinse twice after quilting and the fusible goes away. much easier than basting for my back!
I also use spray basting. prefer 505 or sulky.
