So not only did I make this HUGE crease, I had bonded it in place thanks to the fusible interfacing.

I freaked.


Thank God for the Internet! I Googled "how to remove pellon interfacing from fabric" and the answer I got was to re-iron the interfacing and peel off the fabric while its still hot. It worked, but for a piece of that size it took FOREVER. I spent at least half and hour steaming the heck out of that fabric in one spot and carefully peeling off the interfacing while it was still hot.

I think its okay. It doesn't look like it stretched too much (if at all). But I'm giving it an overnight break before ironing it again and fusing a different piece of interfacing to it. Its been through enough for one night!
i need to make a t-shirt quilt - tell me the name/weight of fusible interfacing please

You can use any lightweight fusible. I'm using Pellon...I didn't specifically pick out that brand. It just happened to be the brand on the fusible interfacing I grabbed.
