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?
When I appliqued circles, I did E. Burns method. Light weight fusible interfacing sewed around all the way, cut a small slit in the back, turned right side out, fused to quilt and then zigzagged around. Turned out great. See in my avitar.
