Can't get the link to play...might just be my computer though (or the operator)

It can be a little slow to load. Click on the start arrow. An advertisement will play first then wait and the video will start. Also you need Adobe Flash player on your computer.

I just picked some of this up, I am excited to try it. A customer of mine suggested it, so I am curious to see how it works. :)

In the past I have just cut a straight line and done a wide zig zag to hold them together, you don't need much to hold them because once you quilt the quilt the batting isn't going to shift.

As nice as fusable webbing might be for certain things, Why put these chemicals in a quilt when you don't have to. Just overlap the two pieces, cut them on a curvy line, toss the scrap ends somwhere and butt the two ends togther and zig-zag them toghter, done!
peace :D
