fusible pellon
#1
I have admired all the bow tuck bags on the forum, and really wanted to make one. Having searched here in UK for the pattern without success, I ordered it from a site in USA. I am so excited because it arrived yesterday. The only problem I have is that it need fusible pellon, but again it does not seem to be on sale here, and I do not know what it looks like in order to buy a substitute. So can anyone here descrbie excactly what it is, we have a fusible which we use for applique called Bond a web. Is it the same thing?

Fusible pellon is a thin form of wadding that has either dots or lines of the adhesive material across the surface of the wadding. It is heat activated, so you put the material over it and press it onto the pellon. If you haven't got any there, I suggest that you apply the web that you wrote of, and adhere the pellon to the material with this web. It will be the same in result, just an extra step to iron the webbing onto the fabric and then the pellon.

Am working on my first bow tuck bag right now and got my fusable pellon on e-bay at what I thought was a reasonable price. Check it out. I knew with the holiday coming up, I would not have time to take a trip to the quilting store so I bought on line and had the material in about four days. Have fun making your bag!!

I have been on internet and found sites that deliver to Uk, but the shipping charges for this item is so high that I need to find similar item that is available here. 2 yards with shipping from US is coming to app $25 which I think is a bit too high

Hello, if you don't have fusible pellon, you can also use regular batting. You can use it with basting spray or pin it. When you get your pattern, you will see that it is quite easy to substitute the pellon.
Here is a link to the tut i did a while back. if you read through it, others have posted ideas, too.
