I have found, after years of making table runners, placemats, table centerpieces, etc., etc., that W&N has given me the best results, it is flat, but gives some body to the items as well. However, when making wall hangings, I like to use fusible fleece as it gives more body to the wall hanging so that it hangs better. I also use SID for quilting, as I have a fear of FMQ, I don't want it to not look good. I know I should practice, but just call me chicken.
