Default Best Double-Sided Fusible Interfacing

Hi - Would you all tell me what light-weight double-sided fusible interfacing you use? I'm working on a guitar quilt that is appliqued. I've made it before, but it's been years and I forgot what I used.

Thanks so much!

I like Misty Fuse, you can't even tell it's in the quilt.

That's true! I used it to help baste the last few quilts I've finished and thought it was amazing stuff for that. I haven't tried it for applique, but I truly can't feel anywhere on my quilts where the Misty Fuse is - even the places I know it is, I can't find it. Wonderful stuff!

I really like Misty fuse also. But I usually use Steam a Seam 2. They only reason is I can purchase it locally and it seems like when I need it, I need it now. An impatient quilter.

I bought a bolt of Misty Fuse years ago when it first came out and no one really knew what it was. The shop clearanced it out because it wasn't selling. I'm still using from it. I think the shops didn't know exactly what it was for then. I haven't see it on a bolt since. I paid about the same cost as one package of it now for the whole bolt.

You got quite a bargain! You can find bolts on the MistyFuse site, though nothing like what you bought your first bolt for. https://www.mistyfuse.com

For most applique I like Steam a Seam because of the sticky back.

I use Heat and Bond ultra light. Have never heard of Misty fuse but will be checking it out. Can this be purchased off the bolt or is it just in packages?

I’ve been using Heat n Bond lite for years, it tends to be my go-to fusible. It’s not an interfacing though. It’s a fusible for appliqué- interfacing lines/ adds stability to a project- like the heavy interfacing in collars/ cuffs, or the lightweight stabilizer used to make T-shirt quilts to keep them from stretching.
