    I'm a zig zag girl !! Its really quite easy and holds up really well. Never had it come appart. On fat bats sometimes the poly will get caught in the foot so I just put a piece of tissue over the top when I zig zag.. and rip it off once joined.

    I got a couple of rolls that were very inexpensive from a LQS that was closing and I really like it. It's much faster than zigzagging it together. I've got a lot of pellon left over from my dressmaking days and I'll use that til I run across another bargain or I've got some extra coupons.

    I liked it, but I'm just going to buy the light weight mesh iron on stabelizer you use for embroidering on t shirts and cut it in strips. Looked like the same thing to me.

    I won a roll of it so used it. thought it great until i realized it is only temporary. it works but you must be sure to really quilt the area where you had to join the batting with the fusible tape. it doesn't last.

    Very lightweight fusible cut in strips works great - $6 a bolt at JoAnn. No problems at all. :)

    Good to know - I was curious how the seam would work out. I have some and I'm going to try it next. Thank you.

    All I've used is lightweight fusible pellon interfacing - cut in strips; works well.
