Anyone use the Appliquick for applique?
My guild had a demo on the Appliquick method. I bought the starter pack that included the two long tools, glue stick and fusible. I tried the method this morning. I like it a lot. My pieces have smooth even edges. I made 1/2 circles and they are perfect and took no time at all to make a dozen. The fusible is very lightweight, can't really tell it's there.

Is the fusible available at quilt shops or does it have to be ordered?
|
It was demoed by a quilt shop so any shop that carries the Appliquick products will have it.
|
Looks like a fantastic way to do applique.

If you are paid member of "The Quilt Show," you can get 30% off the tools. I'm still sitting on the fence. It looks like a great method.

I just recently purchased the tools with my 30% coupon but have not yet used them. I am getting ready to make a Mommy & Me crib quilt so I plan to get my feet wet on that project. I saw the video on The Quilt Show a while back and she makes it look so easy.

I was wondering if, or how, you remove the fusible product
|
I don't remove it. I tired many different tools to compare since I had the rods. Nothing I tried worked better then the rods. I even tried the seafood tools some said worked. The rods are hefty and that makes a difference.

I came across this method when preparing for the Caswell Quilt. I works perfect for me even if I dont use the original tools. A small pickle fork and the pointed end of a crochet hook are doing the job.
I have never been able to make such accurate shapes with any other method and its very fast. Fusible and Glue wash out perfectly after finishiing a block. There is only one downpoint: I need at least one gluestick $2 per block..............25 blocks to go |
I saw the creator demo this technique twice at AQS shows. The second time I bought the tools and the fusible. I have always avoided the "A" word, but this method is enjoyable. As someone else posted, the scissors are fabulous!
