For the first time, I used Heat & Bond to applique fun things to the outside of a playhouse for my niece.
It worked well, but it's a little thick.
And, I'm not sure how it will wash.

My next project (or one of my next projects) will be a quilt with many circles appliqued. (not sure of the exact design yet, but I want circles).

Does anyone have any thoughts on how the product used to iron the appliqued piece affects the final quilt?
I accidentally used Heat and Bond on an applique once (didn't realize I had done this) and when I went to applique it on the sewing machine my needle kept getting goo all over it and made the applique difficult to do. I think for the playhouse it is fine or on something that doesn't require sewing. I use the lightest Wunder Under possible for appliques.

Thank you
