Very smart!
This is not my tip but read it the other day on a blog somewhere. Take your old dryer sheets, use them as backing for applique work. Do u know the money u can save on that one?!
When I worked for HGTV, I had to iron fusible interfacing to all the pattern pieces because the sound of the patters rustling messed up the acoustics. Not a bad idea after all!
