Thanks Klue, I suppose the Tuscan Wildflower line is made the same as your Asian by Kaufman. I will be making a quilt for myself with that line, it will be a guest bedroom quilt, so it will not see alot of time is the laundry.

I hope I do not have any problems with these gold threaded fabrics. I just finshed the November / December doll swap quilt and it has metallics on two of the choices of fabric. I'll keep my fingers and eyes crossed.

[quote=kluedesigns]here's a link to a FAQ about foiling fabric and i've attached a PDF file thats a tute on how to do it.
its all pretty much the same idea, you use an adhesive (powder, fusible web, liquid glue), make your design with the adhesive, and then apply the foiling over the adhesive.
That's neat, KLue. I've done a cake with gold leaf, but never foiled fabric (although I've SPoiled my share! :-D )
I must say it was neat to tell people who ate the cake that they were eating 24 carat gold leaf!!
PS The cake was made for Grandpa's 90th birthday party, the same one the quilt was for.
