Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I recently was introduced to this and think it would look good in a quilt, but don't have the experience to figure it out. Has anyone used it? I think it would have a nice textural design to the quilt.
It's pretty pricey to use for a whole quilt. I have done some small project , and it is certainly fun to play with.
I haven't but here is a free video about using it just scroll down towards the bottom

I haven't used it in a quilt but I did use it in a purse. It is expensive and would get costly for a quilt.

I have some I bought a year ago. I 'm thinking that it would be good for appliques on quilts - maybe trees, etc.

I used it in a purse (shop sample). It's fun to work with...kinda spooky when you shrink it with an iron. Be sure to use plenty of steam. Tip: DON"T touch the iron to the Texture Magic or you'll have a huge mess!
I saw a quilt in a shop that they did some of the blocks with texture magic. They chose a particular fabric, did the process and them that block was scattered through out the quilt. I thought it was nice, but not budget minded.
Check out superiorthreads.com. Texture magic is their product.

Interesting stuff! Wonder if you could get the same effect, by either fusing or stitching a piece of muslin or something to the fabric, then shrinking it.

Follow your heart but take your brain with you!
I used it to make a purse also. Fun to work with but I would think to expensive for a whole quilt.
