Sorry this is a double post intended to hit edit and add to the bottom, instead I hit update. But check out the last of this post and find where I purchased mine.

Help please, anyone know what I can do to solve this problem? Thanks!!!!
I have used Steam-A-Seam and it works very well. I have just finished using it on a very large group of applique objects on a quilt I am working on, then used a zig zag stitch all around the edges after it was ironed down, and did not have a bit of trouble with gumming up the needle. You would need to follow directions on it, because you do not iron it until you are ready to the permanent position. On the Sun Bonnet Sue, you would just cut the outline or trace it on the steam a seam paper then cut it out and peel the paper off and hand press it on to your SBS. You can then move SBS anywhere you need to until you find your permanent position. Then place her on that spot and press with a hot iron. BUT be sure that is exactly where you want it before you use the iron, as it will not come up.
I bought some at Hobby Lobby and also order some when they were out of stock at the time I needed it.
