I saw the lady demo this in Paducah, I think she is from Spain. She had the specialty scissors along with all the other tools for Appliquick. She showed everything she could do with the tools. I was amazed at the tiny applique circles made in a minute and the detailed applique shapes with all turned seams perfectly. I never cared for hand applique but this made it very easy I bought the complete set. I must say the fusible she uses is the best. Very soft and thin. The glue is excellent too. My guild is having a program featuring Appliquick in Oct. I hope to buy more of the glue and fusible supplies there. I tried the seafood fork and picker some say work the same. Not for me after using the tools designed for Appliquick but have seen others get good results.
