Feathers-N-Fur

I have made many king and queen quilts over the years, but have no experience with wall hangingings. Now I've moved into a bigger house with lots of blank walls that I want to fill up. So I have 2 "rows" from the Row by Row Experience that I want to make into wall hangings. They are raw edge appliqué. I've use Heat and Bond Lite, Steam a Seam, Wonder Under, etc. But I'm thinking, since it won't need to be washed, if I should use Heat and Bond Heavy and not worry about stitching down the edges. What are others experience with doing it this way? Thank you for giving your opinions.

if they are not going to be washed, i'd say any would be OK as long as you follow the directions so it fuses well

Do you plan to quilt it? Regular Heat and Bond is not nice to stitch through.

For wall hangings, I have used Steam a Seam Lite 2 and then done a meander over the entire thing with invisible thread.
If you don't want to stitch it down at all, you can certainly do that too...it's your quilt and if it is just going to be hanging and not handled, I don't see a reason why not if you use a heavier fusible and get all the edges good and tight.

I would stitch it down with invisible thread. I think any adhesive gives after a while. Even if it is just a single line around the edges of the fabric.

I agree with toverly
