Fuasble interfacing - ??
#13
I also purchased a mini bolt at the same sale. I will use it for T shirt quilts or as a stabilizer for machine or even simple sewing machine embroidery. If also works great if you want to make a firm foundation for a button hole etc. You could even use it as a foundation for those postcard quilts that are popular for the holidays.

My main use for fusible interfacing is an odd but practical one: I iron it to my tissue paper pattern pieces (for patterns I use a lot, such as purses/totes, dolls, clothing - you get the idea). It makes them last forever.
Other uses are for:
- interfacing caps, hats or hat bands, collars, pockets and sleeve cuffs (BUT, be sure to cut the interfacing piece's seam allowance back to 1/8" or 1/4", not the full seam allowance to reduce bulk while retaining shape)
- interfacing purses (so they stay pretty much erect)
- interfacing straps to purses and totes
- interfacing flat ornaments, keyring fobs, etc.

I ordered some of that and 4 days later I was emailed that it sold out! - If you want to sell any of it, let me know!

I also use it for attatching quilt labels. Also on another thread on this site someone mentioned you can use it to cut into strips and fuse scrap pieces of batting together I thought that was a SUPER hint.(this was just in the last couple of days)
