Interesting.
Can you sew it on or is it too thick after it is bonded?

Susie...yes, it is interesting, but I would think you could sew just about any thickness with the right needle. I can sew pretty thick leather, surely it isn't THAT thick :shock:

No, you can sew on it just like normal interfacing/fusible web. Hard to hand embroider, as the fabric is "sealed," but no problem on a sewing machine.

Hi all,

I got my set of ponds prepped last night and all the fishies cut out. Was gonna make more than one, but I think that is a pipe dream at this point. Lucky to get the one finished. All the blocks so far have been real cute.

I only have the border to sew on my SBS blocks, then I should be able to mail them, provided weather cooperates. We are in a winter storm warning thru Tuesday.Can't wait to get everyones blocks. Will post when finished.

are you saying that if you use this product to iron an applique on, you do not have to do anymore to it? What's this product called? Thanks.

Uhhh, I threw the packaging away. It was Heat & Bond Brand, but other than that I'm not positive. If I hit a quilt store today- Date day with my mom, sans kids!- I will ask for you. :)

. Thanks! Hope you had fun!

I hear you. The block for each mice has 6 paper pierce sections and a total of 41 or more pieces, some of them very small. The finish block is less than 12" and I have to add borders to it.

I am trying my best please don't count me out of the swap.

Oh you guys....don't stress...I'm sure if you need a few more days that BRT can wait...I for one sure wouldn't mind. I don't have time right now to do anything with the blocks when they get here (except to pet and admire them).

Does a broken toe count as an excuse for not having my 12 ducks and 12 houses ready? It does hurt to stand to press. I can't move my iron...it's a commercial gravity fed creature. I have only been able to get one block completed every 2 days BEFORE I broke my toe :( Now I try and stand as little as possible. I am still striving to have them posted before the 15th.
