Hi Sandra-P! My husband and I love to take drives to Bonners Ferry! We love the "old part of town, new part of town" thing going on. I've visited the 2 quilting shops in the old section, and every time we go up there, I have to go to the Alley Fabric Shop. (I THINK that is what it's called). That is such an extensive fabric shop! It belongs in Spokane! Closer to ME! We had lunch at the Mexican restaurant in the old section. So nice to go there!

Welcome from SC Texas. I am sure you will love the board, so much information and fun following what the others are making. I use wonder under as I do a lot of applique and love the results I have had with it. Enjoy the board and good luck with your business.

From my own experience, I have found that fusible isn't forever and it needs to be sewn down if you want it to last. I longarm my own quilts so I have no problem quilting all the pieces into place so they last forever. You could sew them before you sell them...just use a straight stitch with matching thread or using a clear thread like that made by Superior Threads. I know that would increase your time and add a little more expense to you for the thread, but you could also raise the price of your pieces to properly pay you for your time. *Waving at you from Odessa, WA*!!
