Good info. Doesn't seem that anyone thinks it's aging badly, and so that's good news. The starch is probably part of the problem, but I do think I probably used too much heat. I'll go easier next time around. Thanks for all your good advice.

Good tips here from the manufacturers

Where do you buy it by the bolt. I can only get 5 yards at Joanns and it is $11.99. I use a lot of it. I absolutely love applique.

I have looked numerous places on line and can't seem to locate it. A huge bolt would not last me a lifetime. I do a lot of applique. I have gone threw 15 yards this past week. I am working on 3 applique quilts. Two of them are fatcat patterns. I love her patterns.

the fusables do not adhere very well if there is any chemicals on your fabrics...this would include starch or sizing...when using fusables for the best turn out your fabrics should be pre-washed without fabric softener added. the fusable will add plenty of (crisp-stiffness) no starch is needed

I get my bolts of Heat and bond lite at Jo'ann. I use a coupon or wait for interfacing to be 50% off. They have it behind the cutting counter at my JoAnn's. You can't get the heavy heat and bond by the bolt , but the lite is still available by the bolt. If yours does not have it have them order it for you ... you can still get the sale price or use a coupon on an order.

Thank you. I have a 50% off coupon I can use now.
