No. It's a one-sided fusible that would be used in place of freezer paper to create appliques for machine stitching. Its advantage over freezer paper would be that it would not have to be removed (because it would sort of dissolve).

I just ordered a pack from Amazon to try out. My concern is that it may not be stiff enough to provide a good edge for turning under the seam allowance. I found that to be a problem for me with the stuff that Sharon Schamber uses. I'm thinking it's probably similar to hers, but with fusible on one side. If so, it's not going to work for me. However, guess I'll spend $10 and a little time to find out.
