I quilted two quilts that a friend had pieced to give to her grand-nieces. Her pattern instructed her to put fusible fleece on the back of the clothes and she did a few to send for me to test after the quilts were washed. Well, even after washing they don't stick at all. I used Heat and Bond Lite to fuse some flannel to the backs of those and that definately works better. Plus with the fusible fleece layer, they have much more "body" to them. I imagine that flannel fused directly to the clothes would be pretty flimsy and would wrinkle up when stuffed back into the fabric envelopes sewn on the backing to store them. Soooo.....my question is: Does anyone have any suggestions of the best way to make these clothes? Any other products that may work better?? Thanks in advance!!!
