When I do applique pieces which will be hand quilted through, I either use Elmer's washable school glue or Misty Fuse with parchment as a release paper.

I have used 4 different machines and tried copy paper and/or wax paper and I still get thread breaks or needle clogs with the glue from Heat n Bond or get skipped stitches. Help please, anyone know what I can do to solve this problem? Thanks!!!!
I am like you I went into fits from now on I just pin and pin alot a bit more work in the beginning but well worth the trouble in the end.]

Have you tried a heavier thread and a larger needle? I know they leave holes but you could press them out. Good luck.
Let us know what you do to fix this. Thanks. Yolanda Wood River

I actually recently tried using just plain old Elmers Glue. It worked great with freezer paper underneath to stabelize. You only need a very very tiny amount of glue and then heat set with your iron. I had no problems with my cheap sewing machine.

There are different types of fusible -some are lightweight and some are heavier. I did use the heavy weight once and it gummed up my machine--was a mess. Now I always use the lightest weight I can buy and no problems.

To all my quilting friends and their wish advice...I did try several suggestions provided by great quilters like you that gave me the best advice of all time! I bought Sewer's Aid and it did the best job of sewing with Heat Bond. Sewer's Aid is now my liquid gold! Thanks to all for the great advice given! You guys ROCK, thank you for all your help!!!
