Default EZ Steam II review

EZ Steam II is a fairly new fusable like steam-a-seam. I found it Nancy's Notions catalog. I had been hunting for a fusable that didn't require to be stitched down onto a quilt after fusing, so I tried it on a show quilt. It's definitely not what's advertised! 1st of all, I got the 5-pack, then some yardage. 5-pack said to trace your pattern on the dull side, yardage said the shiny side. 2) The backing is hard to remove so that you can place it onto the wrong side of your fabric. You have to score it & very carefully peel it back to get it started & be gentle with it so that the fusable part doesn't come away from the other paper. 3) It did do well with repositioning. 4) It was easy to iron down with the steam. Just let it cool completely before doing anything else with it.

I followed all their direction & the edges came up while quilting it on the longarm, si I had to go back & sew it down, ruining the look I was after. After washing it, I had to go back & re-iron to get it to stay down.

I don't recommend this over some of the other products on the market.
