Misty Fuse

Just howling. Thank you, Sunny. I'd been hoping you would report back on your not feeling well pup but I guess except for a nasty taste of Misty Fuse, he's much better. Polly

Polly, it was the OTHER dog that got the Misty Fuse. Jojo is actually completely back to normal now. He's bouncing, putting his drooly, stinking toys in my lap every few minutes, chasing the sprinkler.....it's wonderful. When that little sprite was just lying on the floor, eyes lidded and not moving except for breathing, it was a horrible feeling.

Thanks for caring.

And don't eat the Misty Fuse!!

So glad to hear Jojo is better.

Now - what is Misty Fuse? It obviously has a different name over here. What do you do with it?

Misty Fuse is a fusible web, minus the paper. But it's different. It was apparently created by Esterita Austin. She's a "fiber artist" who does a lot of fusing. The difference is that once you use it, there is no hard line or thicker edge or anything to show that you've fused one fabric to another. There is no difference in texture at all, just two fabrics stuck together. I'm not explaining this well, but if you fuse a lot (and I really like doing that) then this is a good deal. It costs way, way less than Steam A Seam, is better to work with and is much more dependable to the Wonder Under sorts of things. I would say that you probably have to be a bit more careful in some ways, but the results are well worth it. You don't end up with a hard, shiny place on your work.

Hmmm, interesting.

I don't fuse much, and mostly use light to medium Vliesofix products when I do.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Cheryl,

Sounds very similar to what I used to use a product for invisible hemming because I could not sew neat enough. I can't remember the name but you put it in the hem turnback and just ironed it on and it stuck without any ridges or hard edges. Great stuff for a dodo like me. It's about 1 inch wide. I wish it was available in yardage.

I suspect it might be like light weight Vliesofix, which you can peel off the paper carefully if you want to.

Ah. I wondered if it might be like that. I have some of that - mind you, it might not work so well now. It's very old - 20, 25 years? It was my dear Mum's. . In message , Maloney Empire writes

I remember her quilt patterns from Simply Quilts. Great! Kay

She spoke, taught classes, and showed her quilts at a quilter's "Celebration" in VA last year.
