I fuse it to the back of the fabric. Cut as usual. We might be talking about a different Misty Fuse product. There are or use to be several different types. I bought this bolt some years ago when a show winner told me she fused it to her quilt top before layering. It is a stabilizer.

I have had great luck with Elmer's school glue when doing appliqué. I just keep it away from the edges I want to stitch, as much as possible even though my machine will sew through the glue just fine after it dries. Much cheaper than other products and I am a cheap old broad.

Just to clear up any product confusion or misidentification...Mistyfuse is not sold or distributed as you describe here, by Marti Michell's daughter, so what you use is not Mistyfuse. Mistyfuse is produced and distributed here in the US by Attached Inc aka Mistyfuse and is not sold under any name other than Mistyfuse®.

I use Mistyfuse for all my applique now. This stuff is da bomb! And, if you use this tutorial, you don't even need to reverse your applique - it reverses automatically when you iron it on the fabric!

Be sure to keep your leftover MistyFuse in a Ziplock bag. If it dries out, it's not as adhesive. Plus, you can save every little scrap to reuse. I take the scraps, overlap the edges a little bit on my fabric, then place a piece of parchment over it to fuse them all together. Another big piece to use! There's no waste with this stuff.
