When you have an available 40% off coupon, you can get yards of this for about $.60 per yard. Great stuff to have around.

I also use the light weight fusable interfacing as a stabilizer for t-shirt quilts - iron a piece bigger than what your final square will be, then trim shirt and fusable to the correct size.
I totally agree with Shelly. I use the fusable interfacing - bits and pieces that are left over. I make sure I quilt over the "joint".
