Really would like to applique with it but am afraid that over time it would come unfused and not sure where to go as to making this purse as it has many pockets that also calls for fusiable interfacing.PLEASE HELP.
Two sided interfacing? Or fusible interfacing? or Paper backed fusible WEB? What brand name did the pattern call for? For applique work I prefer the lavender printed label Heat n Bond.(Sewable) I also can make do with Stitch Witchery but don't like it as well. I use the lightest weight possible of fusible fleece from Pellon if I am doing purses. It is fusible on one side. Otherwise if I use a fusible it is whatever fits the weight of the fabric I am working with.
feel free to PM and I'll try to help.
