I have HeatnBond Lite Iron on adhesive by Therm O Web . It was given to me and I've never used it but from the directions it sounds like it might work. I don't have much extra fabric so before I iron anything on to it I would really like to make sure I'm going to be able to hand stitch through it.
Any help would be truly appreciated!! Kelly
Wonder Under and Heat n Bond are fusible webs. They're for attaching one piece of fabric to another either with or without stitching.
They're probably talking about a lightweight fusible interfacing. An interfacing is left in to give the fabric body or stiffen it depending on the weight of the interfacing.
