ghost...I read your comment about the gumminess of the SAS2...I used that also (I like that its sticky on both sides)...but this last time, I had lots of gum on my needle and I'm thinking that is probably not good for my machine. I've seen some WonderUnder used in the IRR centers and I've always thought it was too stiff for my liking. I'm still pretty new to lots of stuff...is there a fusible web that is sticky and not gummy and not stiff??? Am I asking too much?? :roll:

When I started my knitting class in 2005, we found out that Wal-Mart was going to get rid of their fabric and yarn. We got an 800# from the clerk and inundated them with calls complaining, then we started buying from them. They got the message and did not remove the fabric or yarn. They are even remodeling the department in February. The new Wal-Marts in the area do not have fabrics and yarns. But here we have convinced ours to keep those items.

Although I purchase most of my fabric at other places. Our Quilt Guild likes to take day/road trips to purchase fabrics for specific projects, but we still make purchases of substantial quantities at Wal-Mart to justify the department. One Wal-Mart is close to our extension office where we meet so it is a quick trip to make emergency purchases.

I am wary of buying lots of yardage of fusible web. It does get old and then separates from the backing. When I purchase the WU I carefully check it to make sure that the fusible web is firmly attached to the backing

For machine applique purposes remember to use the lightweight Wonder Under. And sometimes i cut the WU into strips and use as sort of a steam a seam. In sewing anything I go by the theory of whatever works. And make a small sample and test on the machine before comitting the whole project. Ask me how I know this!!!

I am about to start a new class in a tech technique called Hoopsisters. Anyone know anything about this system. Tonight is an introduction and supply sheet.

Thanks for the info soannesew.....my LQS did the hoopsisters program. It looks really cool and like lots of fun, but I didn't take the classes. The main reason that I didn't is because I actually enjoy the piecing and quilting process and don't really want the machine to do all the work for me. I get pleasure from the process.....but it does look like something good to learn.
