Fusible Fleece and Bow Tucks
I've been making Bow Tucks bags and have been having problems getting the fusible fleece to adhere to the fabric. My poor old iron doesn't steam anymore, so have even tried lightly spraying water onto the fabric to mimic the action of steam. Yesterday, while fusing the fabric, either the fabric shrank, or the fusible....but it pulled up almost a half inch! But it did fuse. What am I doing wrong? Will the sizing in the fabric affect the fusibility? I've never prewashed the fabrics - didn't think it was necessary for a bag that most likely wouldn't ever be washed. Can I use the regular fleece (not fusible) and quilt close enough to achieve the same results? I need help.....my family loves these bags and I can't make them fast enough! Thanks in advance for all your help (I know someone out there has the right answers).
