03-29-2023Two friends of mine each bought a Toni Whitney quilt kit and gave them both to ME to quilt for a very dear "sister by another mother" friend, whose birthday is mid-November. I am an intermediate quilter of 20+ years and have used the paper-backed fusible webbing for years. They want me to use Misty Fuse because it's softer. I have no idea how to use this stuff without the paper backing. Tips, anyone? [THANK YOU!]

first ..i agree w jan ..i thought maybe you posted pics w your comment. second i am a new to misty fuse user. after a lot of raw edhe & tirned machine applique last several months doing a project w several friends i finally got comfortable w misty fuse. i like it. i don't like waste ..i use scraps ..usually the fabric piece not enough to allow waste. i pin large piece of parchment paper to my tabletop ironing board. i cut out mt fabric shapes. i position scraps of misty fuse on wrong side of fabric, trying to not overlap. carefully place small piece of parchment paper over fabric & misty fuse. press gently according to misty fuse instructions. mistyfuse includes instruction for use, plus tips. it is basically the same fusible webbing we used years ago called stitch witchery, tho a bit lighter & less dense. i like the stuff and i don't like fising. i prefer needleturn.Originally Posted by Wunder-Mar

I just finished a quilt with a LOT of MistyFuse. I don't know if it is the "right way" but this is how I did it?. I bought Reynolds parchment paper at the grocery store. That was my "paper". I traced my shapes onto the Reynolds parchment paper, then I cut Misty Fuse to the size of the paper (or smaller) and ironed it on. After that, it was just like the paper backed fusible we are used to. You may want to use an appliqué pressing sheet between your iron and the parchment paper.

My last trip to Paducah, I got to chat with several of the winners and quilt makers during different times. I was amazed that most fused their whole quit top to stabilize it before quilting and used Misty Fuse. I never thought of doing that.

Then click on "MistyFuse tip sheet"
Thank you so much for posting this website. I've had about 3-4 yards of this type of fusible sitting in my cabinet because I had no idea how to use it. It came with no instructions to this link is a great help and will be kept with the product from now on.Originally Posted by key4unc

i use a large piece of parchment paper over top of fusing project as a pressing sheet. i have no fusible on my iron or ironing board. and i can use the paper over & over again. if i get fuseable on the paper, i rub it off before next piece has fuseable applied.Originally Posted by UFOs Galore
