I pressed it hard with my hands first then put it on the table to iron it and skipped the edges so no mistakes and all. I read at one site that sells it on the reviews that a woman uses the kitchen floor (linoleum) and it cleans up very easy off that .. I am a quilter for 10 yrs and am amazed at what I keep learning. I had NO idea there was a spray you could use for this also instead of buying the fusible which again I had no idea until this summer was available either. I am thinking the spray product is used more widely? anyone have a word on this? the fusible batting was so thin I doubled it (it stuck nicely to the other fusible) and it made a decent thin but warm blanket. One layer is almost hard to even notice its in between the fabric unfortunately. I wanted thin but I also wanted warm.
