I'm having one of those brain freezes, I forget what you call that paper you use to stick material down with. Lord this is awful. I just wanted a good one that dosen't make everything stiff when you use it. Plus the name of the stuff you can get at the drugstore for memory, everytime I remember the name of it, I forget to stop and get it. I'm getting bad.

Are you talking about "Heat n Bond" iron-on adhesive fusible web. I use this stuff alot and use the lite so it doesn't feel stiff.

Thank-you everyone for your help. I printed all of them so I can take the list with me when I go to get them. Thanks again.

The one that I have been using lately is called lite fuse. It has no paper backing so you would need a teflon pressing sheet with it. It will hold things in palce fairly well, but may want to still stitch it down for good measure.

PS Meant to tell you that i got it at the quilt shop. It comes about 1/2 yd to a pkg. for 2 or 3 bucks.

:) Whatever brand you use--if you trace your object you want to fuse down, then cut it out on the inside lines of what you have traced, using only 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the fusable on the fabric, it will not be stiff!!! Read this but also learned the hard way!!!! Hope you understand this!!!

If you still have a Wal-Mart in your area, or at least the Fabric Dept., they have the heat and bond in a 27 inch wide roll, and is 5 yards long .which was $5. for the roll last summer.
Save those pennies and dollars....to buy more quilt fabrics. June |
