Well this doesn't get it reattached to the release paper, but you could just use it like some of the girls in the "Chicago School of Fusing" do. That would be Frieda Anderson

They fuse their entire piece of fabric, and then pull off the release paper. To draw a motif, draw ON the release paper and then iron the paper on to the fusible side of the fabric. You have to make sure you put the side you drew on down next to the fusible web side of the fabric. Your design will transfer to the fabric to then cut out. The advantages are that you don't have to pull paper off which sometimes makes extra little fuzzies around your motif, and you can do freehand cutting easily. One of the disadvantages is that you have to be vigilant about where you iron is in relation to any uncovered bit of fused fabric. At least you could use all your detached Wonder Under at one time and then hope the next batch is ok. You also might think about cutting the next batch into sheets that you could then store flat in a ziplock bag so the humidity changes don't effect it. Just some ideas.KJ
I got this info from the Pellon website (manufacturors of WU) "Overtime, if Wonder-Under® separates from the paper, it can still be used. Simply place the web on the surface to be fused, cover with the Wonder-Under® release paper, and press with a hot, dry iron. Fabric, web and paper will stick together. Proceed with directions for cutting, peeling and fusing." Well, that doesn't help much.....
Does anybody know of any tricks to get the webbing re-attached to the paper? Handling it the way Pellon suggests is a royal pain!
