Applique trick I just found out about
#1
At the fabric shop today, another customer said she uses the Reynolds Release foil when ironing Wonder under onto parts. No sticking, protects ironing board, I haven't tried it for this use yet, but it works great for other stuff, and I will play with it this afternoon.
Another trick added to this old dog's collection. :wink:

Reynolds Release is aluminum foil that has been treated so food will not stick to it during the cooking (baking or grilling, etc.) process. It is relatively new --2 or 3 years???
WonderUnder is a fusible web product that you iron onto your fabric (I do it before I cut out my project) and then you iron it onto whatever you want to put it on. There is a paper backing that comes off before you bond it to whatever you are putting it on. There are a number of fusibles available now, but all work basically the same way.
Have a great quilting day. :-)

I just found out about another great applique trick for those of you who use the freezer paper and starch method. Instead of "painting" the starch on with a paintbrush, use a very small tipped squeeze bottle like the ones sold in a group of 4 from www.clotilde.com. The starch can be applied without having to carry around a brush, bottle and spray can of starch and it does not soak into the edges of the freezer paper template so you can continue to use the template over and over.
