The first time I tried it, I bought a twin size pkg at Walmart. It felt stiff and weird and I wasn't too sure about using it again.........until I threw the quilt in the washing machine. I always wash the quilt when I'm finished, and it came out soft and drapey. Just what I wanted. Now I buy off the roll at my LQS. Just lucky maybe, but I've never had a problem.
Right - the fusible washes out during the first wash. It's fine for the right application. As a longarmer, I would have to load the quilt a little differently if it had fusible. I'd recommend asking the person you intend to take it to what their thoughts are. But, for a purse or wall-hanging, it works well.
oops...didn't see the article - off to read it :)
