I was asked to finish a wallhanging and I think they used regular Heat and Bond. I managed to thread paint/top stitch the design down and then machine quilted around the pieces, not on them. For my own applique, I use Wonder Under and have never had any trouble with it.

I have used 4 different machines and tried copy paper and/or wax paper and I still get thread breaks or needle clogs with the glue from Heat n Bond or get skipped stitches. Help please, anyone know what I can do to solve this problem? Thanks!!!!

I don't have a solution for you but the one response about wiping your needle down with alcohol sounds reasonable or maybe you could use GOO GONE. I used heat and bond once to try to applique and I had the gummy build up on my needle. Needless to say I never used that again for applique. I stick to Wonder Under and don't have a problem.

After reading the suggestions a thought occurred to me. Do you know what the thread wax is? It comes in a round shape and you pull your thread through it before sewing (hand sewing) and it keeps the thread from knotting. Wal Mart carries it. I wonder if you pulled your thread through it (using a needle) somewhere at the top of the machine and then thread as per your machine. I wonder if this would help the thread slide through the glue. Have you tried a heavier thread and a larger needle? I know they leave holes but you could press them out. Good luck.
Let us know what you do to fix this. Thanks. Yolanda Wood River
