I have just been made aware of Misty Fuse so I'm not sure of all it's uses but I am researching that. The one thing I can' seem tri find out is if I can use it to fuse wool pieces? Has anyone used it for this purpose? Thanks with any help with this.

I haven't done it, but it should work on wool. A polyester might not be able to take enough heat, but wool can take the heat needed to make Misty Fuse adhere. I would not trust it as a permanent adhesive, however. I would want to stitch through the wool, either by hand or machine.

Edit: Here's a link to a website that says it fuses beautifully to wool:

And here's a link that describes the amount of adhesion on wool:

Thanks Prism99. I guess I will experiment with some Misty Fuse as I am currently working on a project using Steam A Steam 2 and I am not liking stitching through it as it requires some pushing - more the I would like. But the pieces have to stay fused long enough to stitch so I'll see how the Misty Fuse works.

Try some wool scraps first. If it is felted wool, the heat should be okay. If it is regular wool the heat may shrink it. Wool due to its fuzziness may not fuse real well but it should fuse enough to hold it in place. Good luck!

Never heard of this product before.

I really like this product for applique because it is so soft and flexible. Some products give an objectionable stiffness that detracts from the finished product.

I use it to fuse on back of my fabric before cutting block shapes especially the ones with bias edges. I bought a 100 yard bolt of it. It is a great stabilizer.

I've used Misty Fuse and love the lightness of it. It's super thin and soft. To me it's not a totally permanent bond. It holds just long enough to stitch down. If I make a mistake, I can reposition it. I would think it would grab the wool fibers and work great. Just a guess.

Misty Fuse has no added adhesive so it won't be a permanent hold for applique.

Do you mean for appliqué shapes? Mistyfuse is a paperless fusible web (iow, it's just meltable glue) so I can't picture how it would be used as a stabilizer for regular pieced block shapes with seams that get pressed during construction. Could you maybe clarify your use so novice quilters don't buy Mistyfuse when a true stabilizer is called for? Thanks.

I've used it on unfelted wool yardage with no trouble at all and it holds securely over time even with minimal stitching. Many people (me included) use it to baste their quilt sandwiches even on wool batting so the OP should be just fine.
