    for backing for pieced borders, (like a piano key where you have bias that will stretch,) for backing for turned applique, it can be printed on when ironed on freezer paper, to make durable patterns, for paper piecing, its like a light to medium weight interfacing but is 36" wide & about 60 cents per yard on sale. Not fusible but could use spray adhesive or washable glue. Sounds like I should be selling it.lol

    I love to paper piece. I have never heard of doing this. I will have to go check it out. I don't remember throwing the one from my DD wedding away. I wonder if we still have it. The only part of paper piecing I don't like is removing all of the paper. I usually buy Ricky Tims paper piecing paper for a big project so I don't have the remove the paper. Thanks for the info.

    While it is not a quilting related use, it is also great for durable but disposable table clothes, actually cheaper than the plastic stuff and looks and lays nicer.

    Didn't know you could print on it and that's great! Thanks for letting us know. I have also used it for embroidery. I did have to use two pieces. Because of the stretch I just put one with the stretch left to right and one top to bottom. Did 170 placemats for a wedding and had no problems. I did cut out some of the extra with ease. JoAnn's also carries the aisle runners in their wedding section. Had to purchase some for that project.

    I've never heard of this product, and even then didn't pay much attention to a wedding runner for this use, but it sounds like a great deal and I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the FYI. How was Lincoln, I have lots of relatives there and used to live in Omaha for about 5 years, but I'm a SD girl, before moving to New England.

    I found this one online: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/aislerunner3.html. It does sound like a great idea.

    ​I like to iron when I paper piece. Since it looks like this is poly, I wonder if it would melt when ironed?

    Would help if I could, Jan! If no one can run errands for you, you might try ordering. Many of the sources are offering free shipping. Good luck and get well soon!
