Have never had a problem.

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!
Thanks everyone!
