    I used the Heat & Bond ultra thinking I was using the other. what a mess! It gummed up the needle. Make sure you are following the directions on the package to the letter.

    I haven't had any trouble with Heat and Bond Lite. And I was told by a vendor that it does have a shelf life so don't stock up on it. Sometimes you buy it old to begin with.

    I use heat & bond lite, never had a problem. if you hold heat on it to long, it kinda melts away and won't stick. I just bought a bolt at JA on a 60% off coupon. i use it like most people use toilet paper. I use it almost every week.

    I always use the Heat-n-Bond lite and it works fine for me. The package I have is over a year old.

    LOL Lynnie!! I too use it all the time, and the only problem I've ever encountered was due to "operator error"!!

    Have people had a problem sewing through Heat and Bond? I'm trying to do a wall hanging and couldn't get into my sewing room because DGS was asleep in there so I just used a roll of the stuff to put down pieces and now it is getting stuck to my needle constantly and causing my thread to break. I'm about to throw the whole project out.
