Hi everyone,

So glad to find this forum!

I searched the forums for this answer before posting, but didn't readily find an answer. I'm pretty new to applique, although I've been a quilter for years. I'm using Sulky tear away stabilizer for an appliqued quilt. (The original pattern calls for the tin foil method, which I've tried and really dislike, so I tried another way, which really works well.) I really like the look of the pieces with the stabilizer still on the back.

Is it okay to keep the stabilizer on and sew? I'm concerned that washing the quilt would perhaps make this stabilizer bunch up and disort the pieces, I guess.

Thanks so much!

Kim
