My fabric was clean, washed, no starch and iron on the setting required. The first time I used it I timed my iron application and the appliqué peeled at the edges as I tried to stitch the edge.The second time I tried it again and the appliqué peeled right off. Could I have gotten a bad batch? Maybe but at $8.50 a yard and 22 inches wide it 's too expensive to buy a product that won't work for me. I am going to ask my LQS to order in Wonderunder for me and I will try Heat & Bond light for my backup fusible.
