I have a drawer full of different "stabilizers." Some are thick, some are quite think. Some of them are fusible, some not. Trouble is, I didn't mark them, and now I don't know what's what. Is there a way to tell if something is fusible or not just by looking at it? I suppose I could cut a piece and experiment, but even if I did that, I'm afraid I might mistake a non-fusible as a fusible. After all, freezer paper can be ironed on, but I wouldn't want to use it as a permanant stabilizer. Any ideas appreciated.

The iron on kind has one side that feels different. It usually has little tiny raised dots of the fusible stuff on it. Snip off a small corner and try fusing it to a scrap. If it sticks, it's fusible. LOL

if you hold it up to the light and slightly change to angles while you are looking you will find that the side that is fusible will have a layer a glue that reflects the light back differently.
