I'm fusing a piece onto a background square. The background square has been starched 5 times,(that works very nicely instead of using stabilizer). My problem is my fusible web will not iron onto the starched square. I don't know the fusible brand other than it came from Joann's and came on a bolt. It is medium weight. Do I need to wash out the starch? Thanks for listening

I starch my fabric pretty heavily and fuse pieces onto it. I use wonder under and it works fine. Try using steam to fuse it, or spray the applique with a little water to help set the adhesive :D

I tried the steam and water it helped enough until I get it satin stiched down. I tried the fusible on non-starched fabric and it didn't adhere very well either, I am assuming the fusibel web is at fault. So I think I will go get some wonder under and try it. Thanks Amma and everyone else who were generous with your help, I knew I could count on this board for fast and good advice.

Which one is more pliable. I have always used Heat N Bond lite and doing some fusible appliqués which I will then b stitching down and quilting, wondering if there is something that would be softer than the heat n bond lite.
