Hi everyone,

I need to make a lot of 1/4” flower stems for an appliqué quilt. I am trying Clover’s fusible tape maker because the non-fusible tape maker’s edges do not want to stay folded in place for a long time. I like to make a lot of stems at one time and leave them until later for use, so I need the edges to “stay put”.

I am not having great results with the fusible tape maker, however. The fusible tape is not always catching the edges of the folded over fabric. The fusible tape can’t be repositioned, so that section must be discarded. Also, I am not getting a consistent 1/4” stem, although it is fairly close to it.

I am sure that this is all caused by user error, but before I spend a lot of time trying to debug what I’m doing wrong, I thought I would ask my fellow quilters what you think after using this product first. In other words, is the final result worth the effort?

Thanks for your help!
