    I use it on the back side of the lining in bags. It give a firmness to it - and it is not flimsy.

    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.

    One of my favorite uses for fusible interfacing is to iron it onto a tissue paper pattern that I know I will be reusing. It works really well and your pattern will last.

    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)

    I also use it for em quilt labels after reading someones post here.
    Also now using it in placemats and runners in stead of batting. Lays flatter.

    I use it for coasters and placemats. Works great, the stiffer the better for me.
