prewash fabrics, allow to cool before trying to remove paper and score with a pin or metal nail file!

Did you wash the material before applying the Wonder Under?
I find that not washing will cause the WU not to stick to the fabric.

Yes, and if you start to buy wonder under on the bolt and it is separating, don't buy it! See if they are willing to cut away the part that isn't adhearing but if not, just walk away ... ask me how I know this??? :lol: :oops: :thumbdown:

I use wonder under and sometimes have difficulty with it also. I don't know if it has to do with how long I have had it laying around. It seems to be more difficult if I am using older pieces. I just have to press more and wait for it to cool.

I use alot of it to do appliques to demo machines we have refurbished. I have found while it is still warm from being fused to the frst piece I peel back the paper at least part way then just lay it back down to draw out my design and cut. Since I use alot I often will fuse larger portions so I can then tightly fit my cut pieces together as I draw them- like a puzzle. Press first side short of the recommended time and it will work better to peel.

I think I just learned what the biggest problem was; I didn't prewash this fabric. It's for a wallhanging, something the kids are going to be using and I just didn't feel like going through the extra step of washing. I will remember this for future reference though. If using fusibles they like washed fabric. :)

Thanks everyone!

I love wonder under. Heat and Bond lite works well, too.

I've never had a problem either and I use it all the time. Love to applique. You do have to let it cool completely before you try to peel ot off. Maybe that was your problem.
